I purchased this pattern before beginning to potty train my 21 month old daughter. I started sewing trainers in anticipation of training. We cloth diaper, and I own a serger and an industrial snap press in addition to my sewing machine. I decided to make the side snapping version of the pattern and use PUL in the wetzone, to make this superior over store bought trainers.

I had never sewn with FOE before, and although the first attempt was a bit tricky, the second attempt was nearly perfect, and I got better as I went. I use cotton knits on the sides and the inner crotch panel, and use flannel and microfiber as the soaker core. I personally added an extra snap to each wing of the trainer to prevent gaping.... I just felt that more snaps was better.

I did email the pattern creator to ask questions on the amount and type of FOE that she recommended, because I had never purchased it before and needed to buy it online as it is not usually found in fabric stores. She was extremely personable and helpful, and we conversed about the patterns and the pieces I had made.

The pattern is very clear. It contains all of the sizes you should need. I can't wait to make more this week, now that we are actually potty training, these are my favorite trainers we own, and we have four other brands/varieties!

I came across this pattern by accident surfing through the amazon pages and thought I give it a try and I surely don't regret it at all. It is a great pattern clear, easy to follow instructions with pictures for further explanation. Even though I have sewn diapers before I never worked with fold over elastic, but like the previous reviewer said once you get the hang of it, it is no problem at all and the instructions of the pattern sure help you to achieve a great result. The pattern comes with all sizes you would need to potty train your toddler.

I also like it that it has the option of making it side snapping or as a pull-up, I was looking for such a versatile pattern for quite some time and are really happy to have found it. The fit on my daughter is perfect and she loves her "big" girl panties a lot and I like them a lot cause they save me quite a bit of money.

I go the patterns and they look great, easy to follow, just wish they were more detailed(doesn't explain much, but were to cut...i have questions. I have made them yet, taking them to my mom so she can help me
