Any chance you could update the link please? I realise this is an old blog so you might not read this.

I just made my ...I love this blog and this pattern! I just made my first trainer for my little man using this pattern. I was wondering however, if you had a size chart, even if it is rough. <br />One thing I did with my first was to add elastic to the waistband that I had made since it ended up bigger than it should have. I do like that it can be really easy to add elastic to these waistbands. <br />Thank you so much for offering this pattern for free!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084508993121264878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377655130994881212.post-55523165179743583922009-05-11T20:42:00.000-04:002009-05-11T20:42:00.000-04:00You can certainly do it without the PUL layer!
Ye...You can certainly do it without the PUL layer!<br /><br />Yes, different fabrics have different stretch, you can certainly alter things like the waistband to make the fit better:)Green Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14010284695713177110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377655130994881212.post-12422233268748410812009-05-11T19:59:00.000-04:002009-05-11T19:59:00.000-04:00What a great pattern - thanks heaps! One question...What a great pattern - thanks heaps! One question - I am thinking of making them without the PUL layer, but instead using hemp and/or bamboo layers for the booster part. Have you made these without the PUL layer? My plan is to have her in fleece or wool longies rather than normal pants. <br /><br />I also used some old trackpants of mine which were a cotton/elastane blend. I am assuming that will work fine? I made a night time one (for under a wool pull-up cover) with body fabric of hemp jersey, but found I need to make the waist band smaller as it has some extra stretch to it. <br /><br />Thanks againLori Howlettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377655130994881212.post-60245652015680546722008-11-12T15:19:00.000-05:002008-11-12T15:19:00.000-05:00I am also wondering about sizing for these.

MY DD is 3 years old and has decided that she does not want to wear a pull-up at night any more but donesn't wait up at night to pee. My son is cloth diapered, she was cloth diapered so I've been looking for an easy to sew trainer pattern. Thanks! I also have a cloth diaper blog you might like to check out. http://countrybabymaine.blogspot.comAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596840906912726795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377655130994881212.post-3476460076362411112008-03-09T10:27:00.000-04:002008-03-09T10:27:00.000-04:00I'm glad your enjoying my blog, it's so much fun t...I'm glad your enjoying my blog, it's so much fun to do:)<BR/><BR/>Reusing old t-shirts is such a good idea!<BR/><BR/>I was also thinking of using this pattern for plain old underwear.
