FuzziBunz Repairs

So now that we've been cloth diapering for just over18 months of Drew's life, some of his FuzziBunz diapers are losing their elasticity. I feel like over the past week they've all jumped on the bandwagon and now I have  a whole stack of diapers needing some TLC.

See how the top side is much longer? That's due to the elastic band wearing out inside from so much usage. Unfortunately this company, much like most cloth diapers, doesn't warranty the elastic, only the snaps and material. I was really worried that these diapers would have to be retired for good until I happened upon some useful online help. I don't consider myself a big seamstress but I'm pretty good with some scissors and thread if needed. After finding a tutorial online I scrounged up the necessary items from my house and bought some elastic:

This video was the tutorial that helped me save my diapers! I think my first side took about 10 min as I did it pretty slow. After that I was able to knock out one side in about 4-5 min. It really is super easy and I must say I was quite proud of myself!

I love spending $1.15 and doing it myself instead of buying new $18 diapers!

Also, happy 10th birthday tomorrow to our "first born child". Although our lives have changed a ton since we rescued her, she has always been by our side with the utmost loyalty and constant love. I can't believe she's been our companion for a decade and am so thankful for her wonderful relationship with Drew.
