Cloth Diaper. Part 3. "soakers"

The soaker's are the part that does the work of soaking up the pee or poo.
 Cotton, Hemp. This is the absorbent stuff.
  1. For the Covers style
    1. Prefold.
      1. Several layers of lightweight fabric, sewn together into a rectangle.
        1. You can get them almost any baby supply place, for $1 each
        2. Standard in the 60-80s
    2. flat fold. Just a flat piece of  fabric, hemmed on the edges, that you fold around the baby's bum. 
  2. Stuffer style
    1. The Stuffer or Insert  is several layers of absorbent fabric sewn tightly down,into a single piece.
    2. Sized needs to be slightly less wide and slightly shorter then the core of the finished diaper. Approximately 11 X 4 inches.
    3. I have made then out of all t-shirts, towels, washcloths. Size is not too important as long as they don't stick out of the diaper. But they do need to lay flat.
  3. All in one style
    1. Several layers of absorbent fabric sewn into several leafs
    2. Sized needs to be slightly smaller then the core of the finished diaper. Approximately 11 X 4 inches.
