Lillian's current Cloth diaper stash!

SO I decided a good place to start is with my current stash. Except for the PUL diapers it is all made by me.
All of Lillian's wool longies! I am an addict, I love wool!
Her special wool longies, two of them are cashmere (super duper soft) The green one I just love the buttons on the bottom. And the two on the right were made with thin wool, so I doubled them, they are reversable so I can choose which side will match her dress. Pink and blue, and both have black on the other side.
Wool soakers, Now we have at least double this many, but who knows where they all ended up. Mediums and large, but really the large are still to big.
fleece pockets and Wool doublers. They are super duper absorbent. I have never had a leak since I started using them. The blue one I crocheted from wool I unraveled from a sweater, and the others I just cut right out of felted sweaters, no sewing necessary.

For a while she kept pooping on the wool, which is a pain to clean, so I sewed up the fleece pockets to slip the wool doublers inside, problem solved! They are a bit long for tiny lily though, so I fold down the front a bit.
Wool in twos!! These are my newest diapers. I am in love with them!

The orange is made with FOE, and works great, but I should have reinforced the snaps, the wool stretches a lot when I unsnap them, it doesn't affect the cover, but it does make me afraid it wont last.

The pink I made with no FOE or binding, I just zigzag stitched all way around a really felted sweater. I folded the wool over the elastic and zig zagged that too, and I really like the way it turned out! I am definitely doing this with all my really good felted wool.

The brown is binded with FOE as well, This is currently my favorite diaper coupled with the contoured insert shown.

Red insert: I took all my original inserts and resewed them into these contoured inserts. They have elastic at the legs to help hold in poop, but they just sit inside the cover, no pins or snaps or anything, just fold over baby, snap cover on and go! I love them. They have soakers sewn in, but I also left a pocket opening so I can just slip my wool doubler inside if I want and not have to worry about using a fleece pocket.


Cloth wipes! I made my wipes with Gerber terry baby faceclothes on one side and cotton flannel on the other side. I totally love them!

Also there is my homemade diaper caddy with all the stuff I keep in it, to make diaper changes easy. Fleece liners (just rectangles cut out of fleece) to use when I need diaper cream. Spray bottle to wet the wipes. and a bar of soap to stick my pins into to make them easier to use.
My ritas rump pockets. I love this pattern, it is one size fits most, and works really well. Except I am not a fan of pocket dipes, so they have soakers sewn right in. My originals had separate soakers to lay inside, but I got sick of it and sewed them together like the one on the left. And the ones I make now the soaker is sewn inside the diaper, like the one on the right. Also I have started using fabrics other than flannel to make them, like the denim diapers, that I adore, and the pretty pink and white one.

These are like fitteds, they do need a cover. we use our wool longies most of the time with these.
Our dinky collection of PUL diapers. LMAO. THe top four are PUL covers of varying brands. and the bottom one is our one and only pocket diaper.

I was not a fan of the pocket diaper for a while, but now I am using it more and more. I think the real issue is Lillian can take off velcro dipes, and she does whenever she can, LMAO. SO I am thinking of converting it to snaps.
6 prefolds! I got these from a fellow cloth diapering momma (I also got the pul dipes from her), I converted them to fitteds though, hope she doesn't get angry, LOL. Aren't the colors lovely!
