Instructions:

Press the edge of the fabric under by 1/4″ on all four edges.

Open the cloth diaper and pin the fabric down around all four sides. It will be pinned in the middle of the cloth. It should touch both the top and bottom edge and be centered in between the left and right side.

Use a straight stitch or a zig-zag stitch to top-stitch the fabric down. Sew around all four sides.

Now add embellishments as desired. Here are some ideas for adding embellishment:

Add ric rac around all four edges of fabric.
Add ribbon to to top and bottom edges of the fabric.
Create a ruffle and attach it to the bottom edge of fabric.
Applique a monogram onto the fabric.
Applique a cute animal onto the fabric.
Embroider a name onto the fabric.
