Finishing

Sew on button on the right panel to be the connection for the cross over piece and the diaper cover. Sew the other button on the front of the left cross over piece.

Your done!
Note: to make your piece look a little cleaner around the edges you might want to sc all around the edges, but that is optional, it looks great without as well as with. Any additions you make are up to you. With a little ruffle on the back of the diaper cover it would make a cute girls set if you like frills. The details are up to you. Enjoy.
