Lacy Panel Pull-On Diaper Cover

There is nothing more girly than a sweet little diaper cover with rows of lacy scallops across the seat. Dainty lace edging also borders the elastic leg openings. Unique construction techniques make this diaper cover a quick afternoon project. One you will want to make over and over again.

Cutting

Tape pattern pieces together to create a full sized pattern for the Front/Side Panel and the Back Panel. Make sure fabric is on grain before cutting.

From white batiste, cut the following (see cutting guide):

• one Pull-On Diaper Cover Front/Side Panel on bias (this pattern piece is on the fold so the pattern will need to be flipped to cut the opposite half of the Front/Side Panel)

• one Pull-On Diaper Cover Back Panel on bias

• one 16-inch square for lacy back panel


DIRECTIONS

Please read through all directions before beginning.

Lacy Back Panel

1. Mark diagonal centers on the 16-inch square. Center and trace the Back Panel on the square on the diagonal. Using the Scallop Template, trace the three lines of scallops (fig. 1).

2. Cut three pieces of edging lace 13 inches long.

3. Pull the top header thread on each piece of lace and gather to fit each traced line. If desired, short pieces of Tiger Tape may be placed 1/8 inch below the lace heading to secure the gathers if desired (fig. 2).

4. Zigzag (L=2.0 – 3.0; W=1.5 – 2.5) the heading of the gathered lace edging on the marked scallop lines beginning with the bottom scallop first (fig. 3). Use a wooden skewer to guide the gathered lace. Zigzag the bottom row of lace first, then the middle row and then the top row in the same manner (fig. 4). Remove the Tiger Tape if it was used.

5. Optional pin stitch:

a. Set machine for pin stitch (L=2.0-2.5; W=2.0-2.5) and insert the large universal needle or wing needle.

b. Place strip of stabilizer behind top lacy scallop on Back Panel.

c. Pin stitch along the top edge of the top lace scallop (fig. 5). The forward/backward straight stitch of

the pin stitch should be on the fabric and the side swing of the stitch should catch the heading of the gathered lace. When pivoting, be sure to pivot at the end of the stitch pattern.

d. Carefully remove stabilizer.

6. Cut out the Back Panel (fig. 6).

Diaper Cover Construction

All seams are 1/2 inch unless otherwise noted. Trim seams to 1/4 inch.

1. Matching the notches, place the back panel with the embellished side to the front/side panel, right sides together, at the crotch seams. Matching the notches, place the right side of the remaining Back Panel to the wrong side of the Front/Side Panel at the crotch seams. Straight stitch through all three layers. Trim seam to 1/4-inch and clip seam allowance (fig. 7).

2. Position the long side edges of the Front/Side Panel to the long side edges of each back panel, matching the notches, pin in place. NOTE: The Front/Side Panel will be completely sandwiched between the two Back Panels.

3. Stitch through all three layers on both side edges (fig. 8).

4. Turn to the right side through a leg opening.

5. Finish the raw edges of the leg openings with a serge stitch or a narrow zigzag (L=2.0; W=2.5). Sew ease stitching (L=4.0 - 5.0) 3/8 inch from finished edge of each leg. Fold 3/8 inch to the inside, pulling in the ease stitching and straight stitch close to finished edge to create a casing. Leave a 1/2-inch opening for inserting the elastic. Press well.

6. With right sides up, attach lace edging to the fold of the leg casing. Stitch in place with the same narrow zigzag setting, catching just the fold of the leg and the header of the lace (fig. 9). Lace is applied flat. Attach the lace ends by folding the top layer of lace under and overlap the bottom layer of lace. Stitch the lace fold with a narrow zigzag (fig. 10). Trim away excess lace.

Stitch opening closed.

9. Finish the top raw edge of the diaper cover with a serge stitch or a narrow zigzag (L=2.0; W=2.5). Press edge to wrong side 1/2 inch and stitch in place to create a casing. Leave a 1-inch opening near side for inserting the elastic (fig. 12).
