Instructions for Ewe Lamb Diapers

(This diaper will not work for a ram lamb)

1. Cut out both pattern pieces and overlap where indicated. Tape pieces together.
2. Cut out (2) diapers on fold.
3. Cut out (4) 3” x 3 ½” squares of flannel for the absorbent pad.
4. Zig-zag or serge around the edges of the absorbent pad.
5. Place absorbent pad on dotted lines on diaper and sew around the edge to attach it
to the diaper.
6. Place other diaper piece on top of the one with the pad (the pad should be on the
inside) then serge around the entire edge of the front and back of the diaper to make
one diaper.
7. Mark placement for tail hole and sew a buttonhole there. Cut buttonhole open.
8. Pin velcro where indicated--strap pieces should be on one side, tummy pieces should
be on the opposite side of the diaper. Before you sew, make sure that you can fold
and the diaper and the velcro will come together to hold the diaper on.
9. Sew velcro onto diaper
10. Match dotted lines for darts. Serge or sew along dotted lines. You do not have to do
this step, it makes the diaper fit better, but the diaper will still work if you don’t sew
the dart. I serge the dart, you can also zig-zag at the dart and trim the excess.
