Hi! I'm trying to remove a diaper that is peeking out from a pair of jeans. I tried the healing brush ... cloning ... inpainting ... and no luck. It gets blurry or mixes in colors from the sweater and pants. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! New to this :)

Stick with cloning but to start, take the hardness down to 0, the opacity and flow to about 50 and use the largest brush size you can.  Expect to change things as you work through it.

I would start by selecting the jeans and the top, and then inverting the selection so that the hard edge of those items isn’t disturbed by the subsequent cloning activity.

There are 1001 variations of how to retouch something like this, so with what effort! 
You can make simple things complicated or complicated things simple! It finally comes from the point of view of the viewer.

Does this "flaw" stand out in the viewer's focus or not and how much effort is justified for the motive?

 

Here I show my preferred variant to eliminate such "large-area" disturbances. So far I have not found any other, faster and more satisfying solution than this one!

 

 

 

It's hard to explain how to do it, but easy to execute (see video file)
