Sewing onesie and washable diaper

[Fragile Princess]

Hello! Anyone crafty here? I would like to sew my first body and a matching reusable diaper.

Any ideas, patterns, something? How different would that be from a baby one, but bigger?

What fabrics should I use?

What about diaper? How should it work, to be easily washable, but also not leaking in case of anything bad? (I have incontinence)

I am dabbling in this. I am a beginning seamstress so I Really have nothing concrete to give but from what I read the inside should be micro-fleece as it adsorbs and is comfortable for the skin. they also have pre-cuts in my fabric stores that might work. Another suggestion is to buy some adult clothes or diapers and use them as a rough pattern which is what i am in the process of. Please let me know if you find any resources!

If you're on Facebook, there are some really helpful cloth diaper sewing groups on there who can give you really good advice on sewing a reusable diaper, and can even help you find a pattern

would a bathing suit pattern be good? just adjust it for sleeves and material? I ask cause i want to get onesies but im low income so i may have to sew em myself.

How it go?? I'm a daddy, but been wanting to get washable diapers for my little. she like to wear them but keep on buying some would cost way to much, on low income, so We can't do that. Been looking online but most places have bad reviews and still can't found any that will cost over $50. Also was wondering, are they safe for when a little on her period, want her to stay health and not get problems down there if she in a diaper and on her time, so she not force to hold her little back.

I'm ok with making some for it if I need to. That no problem but not sure how easy it will work and what things I need to do it.
