Sew Your Own
Sewing your own diapers is a great way to save money, explore your creativity, and get designer diapers exactly the way you want them! Don't be afraid if you have never sewn before; you'll be a pro after a little bit of practice. Don't worry about your diapers being beautiful (your first tries probably won't be). After all, it's just a diaper. As long as it's absorbent and you can wrap it around your baby's bum, it will work.
