Sew the Ribbons

Layer the two ribbons evenly, centering them along one seam of the diaper. Pin them to the fabric. Use a straight stitch on your sewing machine to sew along the ribbon edges. Fold the ends to match the diaper's length, then stitch fully around the ribbons. Repeat on the other seam.
