Have you ever wasted your money buying cheap department store prefolds?
The kind of diapers baby is soaked through in less than 20 minutes?
Do you throw up your hands, and go back to disposable diapers?
Not if you are a frugal mom!!
Just get some 100% cotton kitchen or bar towels - for medium absorbency - or hand (guest-size) towels - for heavy absorbency.
Used towels are just fine.

Layer and sew one towel on top of each of your prefolds.
You can simply use a zig-zag stitch all around, trimming off any excess.
Or, if you don't have a sewing machine, it is easy enough to hand stitch across the top and bottom of each diaper, using a running stitch, and don't bother trimming off the excess.
If time is at a premium, put a pile of diapers and towels next to your favorite chair and work on a diaper or two a night, while you watch TV.
Now you have a stack of super-absorbent diapers for your baby!

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
