How To Fix The Elastic in Cloth Diapers

I love my cloth diapers.  They are so cute, soft and save me money.  So when the elastics stretched, after using them for 2 two years, I was pretty 'bummed'.  Repairing them took a long time, but it wasn't that hard.


  1. Not every side needed repairs, but I decided to redo them all anyways.
  2. Turn the diapers inside out and find the elastic sticking out. 
  3. Use a seam ripper to remove the old elastic.
  4. Find a large enough needle and put the elastic through it.
  5. Thread the elastic through the diaper.  I doubled up the elastic to make it stronger.
  6. Sew one side, pull the elastic tighter and sew the other side.
