DIY - Training Pants

Training pants are so expensive. You only get 2 or 3 per package for $7.00 a pop, pull-ups are too much like diapers and are also expensive. So, I did some research and figured out I could make some myself.

I cannot keep a good thing to myself, so I am posting step-by-step instructions on making these Training Pants.

You will need:
Tri-fold Parent's Choice Cloth Diapers 6pk - found at Wal-Mart
Faded Glory Briefs, size 2T-3T 10pk - found at Wal-Mart
Sewing Machine
Sharp Sissors
Pins
Thread - I used white only

  

1. Take your tri-fold cloth diaper and fold the 

two outsides into the middle, making them overlap.

2. Fold your diaper in half

3. Turn your underwear inside-out

4. Line one end up just below the elastic and pin. 

I do this on the backside. 

 

5. Pull the daiper around to the front of the underwear.

Pin it just below the waist band. There will be extra material,

we will cut it off later.  

6. Pin the sides to help keep the diaper in place

when sewing. 

7. Turn pants right-side-out, make sure

you have an even amount of diaper

sticking out of the leg holes

 and pin the crotch. 

It should look like this.

8. Cut the material off along the leg holes.

After you sew, you may have to trim 

them up a little bit more.

 It will look like this.

 

9. Cut the extra that is sticking out

over the elastic. I use the elastic 

so it will be straight.

  Once we finish sewing it may

need to be trimmed a bit more.

10. Start sewing. I sewed as close 

the edge of the material as I could. 

The first one I made I sewed it in sections. Then realized

I could sew all the way around if I took my time and 

pulled the underwear and diaper tight. 

 11. I trimmed the edge that we cut 

a little, just below the elastic band.

Here is the finished product!

Please leave any questions in the comments section and I will get them answered. Good luck!
