Diaper Sewing for Beginners

This past August, RDA Circle Leader, Maya Keithly, held a special diaper-sewing meeting in Everett, Washington. Since many women in her Circle had expressed an interest in learning to sew diapers, it seemed like a natural topic for an entire meeting. An experienced diaper seamstress, Maya has been sewing diapers for many years. She was eager to share her knowledge with her Circle.

There were six mothers who attended the meeting, each with varying experience in sewing. One mother in her group had almost no sewing experience, while another was so excited that she brought her serger (an overlocking sewing machine). Maya taught them how to sew a fleece cover, and also showed them how to attach snaps on fitted diapers using her snap press. She provided some materials and shared some of her homemade diaper patterns. Everyone had a great time at the meeting and they made plans to meet again for further instruction and practice. “We had a great time playing around on the sewing machine,” Maya told me.
