Here is a close up of the cute diapers I am making.  I started with the Babyvile Boutique pattern.  Diaper really didn't fit just right.  I used there velcro.  Not a big fan, it shredded, and we had a lot of problems getting them to stay closed.  Also, added about $1.50 to the cost of diapers.  Yikes.  I shortned the diaper, that took care of most of the leaking problem.  I also switched to Sewology velcro.  Love it, stays hooked even in washer.  Lasts, and lasts.  And best of all I got it half price, so it only adds about 20 cents to a diaper.  I also redesigned how the velcro was attached.  These look more like the G diapers everyone loves.  Mommy is much happier with these.

This is what I have been up to.  Mommy wanted cloth diapers, at over $20 a bought diaper, we decided to make our own.  Well, it was decided I would make the diapers.  It takes me about 2 hours per diaper, because I insist on pinning and topstitching, but I think it is well worth it.  I figured it is costing me $5 a diaper, or less.  I was giving some fabric by wonderful friends, so on those it cuts down the cost.  This is my second set already.  He outgrew the newborns, so now I am already working on the next size.  At 25 to 30 diapers needed for each size, I won't get bored.
