Hand sewn fleece cover

So I've decided to try and make some fleece diaper covers my only problem is that I don't own a sewing machine so I'll have to make them by hand. I got some cute anti-pil fleece from JoAnn's and I downloaded mama birds diaper patter ( http://www.geocities.com/rew4birth/ ) and I found a great walkthrough by sisters of breastfeeding ( http://www.sistersofbreastfeeding.com ). It took me about 2-3 hours (I was taking care of my son at the same time) to complete one and I haven't tried it on my son yet but I'm proud of the overall look. I'll add a picture of it later. It doesn't look half as nice as some of the homemade diapers you can find online but this was my first attempt and I sewed the whole thing by hand. I cannot wait to see how it holds up tomorrow.
