Trace the pattern onto a square of tissue paper. Cut a rectangle of batting slightly larger than the pattern. Cut a piece of fabric about 6 inches by 9.
Place the batting down. Fold the fabric and line it up along the lower edge of the batting.
Place the pattern on top, lining up up the straight edge of the pattern with the fold of the fabric. This will be the front of the diaper. Pin.
Starting at the dot sew on the line of the pattern to the fold. Back stitch at each end. Sew from the other dot on the line to the fold.
It looks like this:
Cut 1/4 inch outside the line. Tear the tissue paper away.
Clip the corners.
Turn right side out. Tuck the seam allowance in and pin.
