Potty Dance Pants - .pdf pattern file
While this pattern has the same name as our original potty- training pants pattern, it is all new in July 2008 with new directions, a new fit, new sizing, new sewing options etc...
Not every child needs training pants during potty-learning
and for many, going straight to underpants is ideal. But for
those that do need them, full-time or only during outings,
this pattern will create a budget and planet friendly
alternative to disposable trainers. I created the Potty
Dance Pants pattern to have the features I found I needed
most when my daughters potty-learned. They are easy enough
for my toddler to put on and take off by herself,
they fit closer to the body than most commercial training
pants fitting lower in front and higher in back, they have
absorbent fabric inside so toddlers feel when the pants are
wet, and, most importantly, they are waterproof and reliable
enough to use when away from home. This pattern
won't revolutionize potty-learning. But they will keep a
potty accident from turning into a potty catastrophe.
What you get:
A .pdf pattern file containing 23 pages of
full-color photographs with very detailed written
directions and pieces to print
full-sized patterns in three sizes.
Sizing:
This pattern includes three sizes (based on commercial
clothing size): 18-24m, 2T-4T, 4T-6.
What you can make:
Other Features:
Serger and snap directions are provided but a serger and snap-press are completely optional.
New ideas and options continue to be added to the pattern through an online link.
Just in case you need help, email-support is a click away.
Why a .pdf pattern:
No shipping costs.
Pattern is downloadable immediately after payment.
Never worry about ruining a master pattern. Re-print as often as needed.
No need to buy or use pattern-tracing paper.
A .pdf pattern allows the use of full-color photos and diagrams and detailed instructions that would be cost-prohibitive in per-printed patterns.
NOTE: Potty Dance Pants are designed for daytime
use. They are quite narrow
through the stride to be more underwear-like. While
some customers have used them successfully overnight by
adding additional absorbency, your results may vary if you
choose to create pants for overnight use.
This pattern is detailed enough for most beginners but assumes knowledge of general sewing terms such as seam allowance and back-stitching. We encourage everyone new to cloth diapers and diaper-making to join online forums that focus on using and/or making cloth diapers. Learning about cloth-diapering isn't difficult, but it can be overwhelming at first. We know you'll have more fun sewing and using cloth diapers when you have a solid grasp of construction, use, and care. This pattern is very detailed but it does not give definitions for general cloth-diaper related terms such as fitted, soaker, or quick-dry.
