I used cloth diapers for my 3 children 39, 31 and 15 years ago. Boy have disposable diapers changed. 39 years ago you still had to pin the disposables. 31 years ago they came with tape. 15 years ago it was reusable tape then they started with velcro. I only used disposable for travel. I worked and my mother in law watched the middle child and my sister in law watched the youngest. I provided them with cloth diapers to be kept at their house. When an uncle came here from England he brought with him some nappies. They were made from a terry cloth fabric. They were the most absorbent. I checked the patterns that others left in a link and terry cloth could be used in the absorbant centers. I really love those patterns. I wish I had known of that concept when mine were little. I have noticed that plastic pants to cover the diaper are hard to find now. I have looked for them recently and the options are limited and few. -- Congrats and enjoy!
