ok, my ds1 is starting potty training and well i need to find a pattern for some training pants, he is too skinny for jocks and i didnt really like the ones at best & less. so can anyone tell me which pattern to use? a friend said i could try using a cover pattern and just alter it. the only pattern i have is a honey boy one would that work?

what fabrics should i use ?

Anyone know what ripstop nylon is?

[jessgray]

thank you so much:hugs:

[KarniF00l]

Rip-stop Nylon is a light-weight, water-repellent nylon fabric with inter-woven ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern, so the material resists ripping or tearing.

Rip-stop nylon is often used in hot air balloons, kites, parachutes, camping equipment such as lightweight tents and sleeping bags, flags, banners, and many other applications which require a strong lightweight fabric. Rip-stop reinforcement can also be incorporated into heavier fabrics which require extreme durability, such as those used in the manufacture of luggage and Nomex protective clothing for riot police.

No idea. I'm not the sewer, I'm the knitter haha or atleast try to be ;)

can you get printed fabrics for the outer part?:confused: like bob the builder or something:D

[HoopDeeDoo]

you make them out of PUL if you could find a bob print, or you sew on an embroidery patch.

Or if you find a normal bob print you cound have a hidden layer of PUL underneath :yes:

here's a nappy I made with a hidden layer of PUL

:thumbsup: thanks i have some plain pul floating round in my fabirc cupboard so might use that for some :laughing: make a few with a hidden pul layer. can anyone recomend othe rplaces to buy printed PUL?

[jessgray]

for the absorbing part of the training pants. (im gunna use the 2nd linked pattern in this thread) i was thinking hemp or bamboo?if i put printed flannelette over it would it matter if its hemp or bamboo? i know bamboo is nice and silky so if i made some without printed flannel i'd go bamboo.it jsut i wanna make a couple with prints on the inside (i like making stuff hard for myself:laughing: ):D
