I used to hang out my brother's diapers on the clothesline back in the 50's. My Mom bought or made, I am not sure, big diapers about 10x20, maybe. Then you folded them according to the size of the baby. When my kids were born, I found prefolded cloth diapers at Sears and Robuck. We tried to dry them on the clothesline as much as possible- DH did the laundry, bless him! We don't have a clothesline now, I really miss the smell of the sheets dried outside.
