Abstract
A reusable cloth diaper made more easily fitted by being stretchable without requiring the use of non-cloth materials by providing a pattern of folding to allow the diaper to stretch at an angle to the straight of the fabric or on the bias of the fabric with a minimum of stitching, having directions printed thereon for the use thereof.
Claims5
A reusable cloth diaper manufactured from a square sheet of cloth material having two sets of two opposed corners, with a center section having a length therebetween, and comprised of a first and second set of threads woven together, said first set of threads running in a direction perpendicular to said second set of threads and having a straight corresponding to the direction the first set of threads run and wherein a first bias with two ends and is formed in a direction diagonal to the direction which the first set of threads run, said center section having four sides, and a perpendicular bias with two ends and at right angles to the first bias, so that at each end of the first bias and perpendicular bias of the material end in opposing corners, said diaper having:
- (a) the two opposed corners of one of said sets of opposed corners of the sheet folded towards the center section along the first bias of the material to form outer wings and the other two corners of the other set defining two diaper ends;
- (b) the two outer wings folded towards the center section along the first bias of the material to form two outer edges of the center section;
- (c) the two diaper ends folded towards the center section along the perpendicular bias to form two sides of the center section;
- (d) the outer edges folded along the perpendicular bias to form two perpendicular sides of the center section leaving a rectangle of cloth and further comprising;
- (e) at least one first stitch running parallel to the first bias, said at least one first stitch extending through the outer edges and folded ends to maintain their folded configuration.
