Thanks to Shannon for this Frugal Baby Tip!
You can make your own diapers using old dish towels, bath towels, extra receiving blankets - any absorbent cotton fabric will do. Fabric stores often carry diaper flannel or "birds eye" cloth to make diapers with - sometimes it is behind the counter and you have to ask for it.
The easiest style of diaper to make is the prefold - just cut out pieces about 14x18 inches put a few extra layers in the center and zigzag stitch together. You can get a pattern for a fitted diaper with velcro closure through Elizabeth Lee Designs (they also carry patterns for nursing dresses and tops!) There may be other sources as well, but these are the two options I know.

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
