Just curious, who makes their own diapers? I make my own fitteds and AIO's using MM Fleece. I love it!! I have been using a pattern with cross over tabs in the front, but I just ordered the honeyboy pattern and am so excited to see how it will work out. I hate Velcro, so mine have no closures right now. I am getting a snap press for Christmas. Here are a few that I have made, plus the LTK wrap soaker.

I do! :D I *love* making diapers and being able to customize them to fit my ultra-pee-rs because otherwise I end up stuffing other pre-made diapers with inserts and premie prefolds and all that so that they don't pee out of them in 3 hours (let alone overnight!).
I made an AIO with MMills Windpro and it's awesome.
I have to SERIOUSLY get going on my mediums though because my little one is 3m size (13lb 9oz as of Wed.) at only 7w - - soooo... he's way outgrowing the smalls.
Right now I use the Very Baby Fitted pattern but I have the Cuddlebuns and Darling Diaper ones as well - but a friend is giving me her own pattern (yay!) and I'm thrilled to make those because they fit my little one awesomely.

Me too! :) but lately I have been buying way too many :lol
MM fleece is harder to source here and can only be bought it cuts but I will be getting some of that and making some pockets and AIOs for the new baby and maybe some training pants for Miss E.
I have used some free patterns ( http://www.thenappynetwork.org.nz/diy.php are terrfic!) but like the VB and am thinking of getting the cuddlebuns too as I like the fit of them.

I am having withdrawals. I haven't made any in a few weeks because I am still waiting on my honeyboy pattern. Hoping it will be here today. I used a pattern from the nappynetwork also. It turned out really nice. I found a way to make cute leg elastic rolls with the honeyboy pattern and can't wait to try. For as many knitters, I figured there would be more who sew their own around here. I would love to see some of your diapers though. I get inspiration from others.

I love making my own diapers too, and the MM fleece is great!
I like the thinner fleece the best. Someday I may have enough mullah to get some organic velour, that is what Im dieing to try.
