"Making Do With The Not So New"

I have a HORRIBLE habit of searching for fun websites & blogs. When I find one, I'm in trouble. I'll sit there in front of the computer for a good 2 hours reading every article, looking at every project. My bookmark page is full of the fun places I have found. So the last couple of hours I have been reading articles from this page.... Making Do With The Not So New  very interesting stuff. There is a list on the right hand side of thrifty things to do.  Some stuff I have heard of, others were brand new to me. 
Going off one of those links, I found this. I go back & forth about doing clothe diapers. Should I do it? I think Yes, I could do it. Then I don't want the leaks & plastic liners on my kids bums. Sorry Environment. But this blog goes even farther with "family clothe." I think I could do it for myself. Maybe not for the dirty bums that come around here. 

What do you think?

Very interesting concept. I don't think I could ever try this. I won't even consider cloth diapers, unless I could have a diaper service. More power to you if you try it.

Have you seen the all in one diapers? They are clothe with plastic inbetween and the whole thing is washable. There are some on Etsy for 7 bucks each but with your sewing skills you could make them a lot cheaper! And they snap too so no diaper pins.

Not so sure I could handle the whole family cloth idea but mostly because of the extra work.

If you decide to use cloth diapers, I will send you all my fancy, pinless cloth diapers and covers. They've just been sitting in the basement. Let me know.
P.S. You should sell the aprons. I suggest going to high-end cooking stores and seeing if they'd sell them.

I am always so behind on Laundry it wouldn't work out.

We use cloth diapers! They are patterned after Fuzzi Bunz. A little different of course because I made them. But we absolutely love them! We're planning to use cloth with the twins!
