8/15/2009 - Making Diaper Soakers

So we're planning on using cloth diapers with this child, at least in the beginning while he or she is breastfed.  Now I've been trying to figure out what to do for diaper covers (soakers).  When you use cloth, you have a basic diaper and then a cover over the diaper which is often called a soaker.
Right now I'm experimenting with Katrina's Soaker pattern.  I've only made one newborn size so far and something's not quite right, the waistband and leg bands seem too small for the body of the soaker.

So now I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.  This one is supposed to be a fleece soaker.  Maybe I'll just cut longer waist and leg bands and try that.
