free patterns for training pants??

[Beccadssmomma]

I NEED to make DS some training pants -- I'd love to find a pattern to make some that look like real undies (like blueberry) -- any ideas?

or if there is a really GOOD pattern but it does cost, link that too -- maybe it won't be too much.

thanks!

I'm in the same boat mama. Here is a free pattern just recommended to me for the blueberry style: http://www.babyvilleboutique.com/blog

The link is toward the bottom for the pattern.

Also, google "Ditto Daddy Boxer Trainer pattern".

The Katrina soaker pattern can also be used. I made one recently for my DS using the size small with the med rise, but he is a string bean

Thanks for sharing that link....It may be just me, but the only link I found was to the Katrina soaker. Is that the one you were referring to?

Yes it is the soaker pattern. It works fine as knit underwear for a free pattern. Some moms have even modified it to have snapping sides, but I like the up/down for my DS. The small size with the med rise was perfect for my skinny DS.

Pull on trainers are super easy to make. Use the Katrina pattern and size down & I cut the crotch more narrow. If you already have inserts or prefolds you can re-purpose them as sewn in soakers

There is a thread a few spots down where I ask about Katrina's as a trainer. Just made one up last night and love it! I will make some mods next time. I posted a pic in the thread.

I find they work fine for day trainers. But for a heavy wetting 4-6 year old at night any trainer pattern doesn't stack up, paid or free.

This is where my concern is. But I gotta do something for my stubborn 4 1/2 yo. Sooo tired of putting the $$$ out on pullups.

Saw your pic ursaminor...did you use FOE for the leg opening?

Mine aren't stubborn they have immature bladders so cannot stay dry no matter how hard they try. It is really common unfortunately. You will just have to keep him in dipes for night. Nothing else will work. Kayla's Cloth Kits has patterns that goes bigger than large.
She also has a trainer that looks better than the others I have tried.
