Here is another submission for the Flat Fold Invention Competition. This is called the “Skinny Neat Fold” from Monica at Crunchy Monica. Go ahead and give this fold a try!
Here's a picture tutorial of the Neat Fold, modified:
Step 1: Lay out flat diaper with point down. (El never fails to jump on any laid out fabric!)
Step 2: Fold up bottom corner towards middle.
Step 3: Fold top corner towards middle.
Step 4: Take left corner and fold across so that top edge of "flap" aligns across top of folded section.
This is what the flat should look like.
Step 5: Repeat step 4 with the right side. This is actually the end of the steps needed to make the traditional Neat Fold but I'm not a big fan of how bulky the middle is and prefer a thinner crotch area.
Step 6: Fold in left side towards middle.
Step 7: Fold in right side towards middle.
Step 8: Pull out left corner.
Step 9: Pull out right corner. (Notice the great "poop pocket" this creates.)
Step 10: Lay baby on top of diaper and pull center panel up.
Step 11: Fold down rise, if needed.
Step 12: Pull up right corner and "roll in" to make for a trimmer fit across hip, if desired. (This will create more of a "bikini cut" rather than a "boy short" cut.) Pull "tab" across middle.
Step 13: Repeat step 12 for left side.
Step 14: Adhere snappi fastener. Done!
I like to check each side for any gaping and will roll in any loose edges.
Notice the nice tight fit.
A very trim fluffy bum!
