I just used this method for two of my MANY cloth diapers that need new elastics and it is wonderful! Thank you for making an intimidating task MUCH easier!
When i opened up a cloth diaper to see how to 'replace' the elastic, i already thought, ew so much work :-/ Your way is awesome and absolutely easy, thanks for the video! ❤
Ong wow!!! I’m going to try this now. Such an awesome video. I have 19 nappies I need to do it on and this video gives me confidence that I can do it and don’t have to get rid of them. Looks so easy. Thank you!!
This was the best and easiest video to follow on this. Thank you so much 😭 saved me hundreds about to replace all my diapers because all the videos I’ve seen before were too difficult I didn’t think I could do it
Hello, thank you for this very helpful video. I have two questions: is there any reason you couldn't sew one end of the elastic before you pull the other end through? This would prevent it from pulling all the way through as you said happens if you accidentally let go. Also, your straight stitch goes through both layers of fabric, fleece and pul - does this affect the waterproofing at all? Thank you
I cut one end of the old elastics and used a safety pin to pull it through but i got so fed up 4 nappies in i have 22 more to repair im going to try using my machine to stitch to try and cut down on the ammount of time its going to take

Aww I’m so glad this helped you!! Saving money is the best!
Thank you so much for this video. I was so overwhelmed when I was reading up on replacing elastics. Now I'm super confident
I’m so glad it helped!! You got this! 😊😊
Just use a small safety pin to hold the elastic ends so they don’t pull through before stitching.
Thank you! I was about to start preparing to replace elastics the hard way. You have saved me so much time and stress.
So glad I could help!! 😊
This is awesome! Thank you. I officially have the confidence to do the repair on some diapers I’m picking up ☺️

How far apart are the slits to put the elastic thru

If a one size gets 4-5 inches of elastic, how much would you recommend for replacing NB sizes? I received a few that need some TLC ☺️
I assume you'd measure the leg seam length fully stretched then halve it
Yes I recommend exactly what Ellie said! Sorry for the late reply!
Thank you for this video!!!!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank youuu for making this video!!!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Thanks for this! Did you remove the elastic that was in there before?
Melissa Zwick no it was completely sewn in so I just left it alone.
Thank you for watching!
@@audfam2011 thank you so much for the help! I bought the supplies and hope to give it a shot soon!
Did you use regular thread or polyester?
When sewing with PUL you should always use polyester thread.
@@amandabolander9967 why use polyester thread?
@@SSpixiegirl apparently polyester will not wick moisture but cotton will (so cotton may cause leaks)
Seems easy enough!
Loni Otero yes! You got this! 😊
