If you are serious about learning how to make fully functional cloth diapers yourself, you will need to spend some time and money acquiring the right pattern, fabrics, and notions. Unfortunately, most of the materials needed for proper modern diapering are not available in retail stores. Visit the Cloth Diaper Fabric Sources Page for more information about where to purchase the cloth diapering fabrics listed below. Note that it can take 1-4 months to receive diapering materials from fabric coops.
These are the materials you will need to make one cloth diaper and how much you would expect to pay to purchase them. Note that fabrics must be purchased in 1 yard minimum increments most of the time. One yard of fabric should make 4-5 inners or outers.
