I used to sew cloth nappies to Aleksanteri and Emil when they were little but we had to give it up when Emil was six months because we have very poor drying facilities, no dryer and we got complaints because the apartment house drying room was full of diapers all the time. Now I really want to get Aleksanteri rid of diapers before his third birthday. (And Emil might just decide to go along with his older brother. It would be very helpful in my financial situation as well) He hates potty and utterly refuses to do anything with it. I think potty training pants might help so he'd feel the wet.

I have PUL and other fabrics in my stash from my sewing days, but I need pattern. He is very slim boy, only 13 kilos, so the pattern should have small sizes.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated Very Happy

Thank you! Now I must remind myself how the sewing machine works.. Only things I've ever sewn are cloth nappies, so this shouldn't be too different, only thinner. Sewing something for a change should be nice.
