(More customer reviews)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!
