The pattern is only one size but you could easily make it a bit smaller by not allowing a seam allowance or by making the seam a bit bigger. This pattern though fit my daughter around 3-4 months and fit her until she was in the smallest size of underwear permanently. Using different materials will of course also change the fit.

You’re Welcome!
I would think that you could add snaps to one edge of the soaker and just snap it in… you could also make the soaker more rectangular and longer so that it could snap in more at the back.

As for the Zorb, I do like it. It absorbs very quickly but if there is a lot of wet, It can wick a bit, which is the main reason I have seen negative comments. However, because these are not diapers, but are just made to catch a pee in case of a miss, and be changed quickly, I have not seen a problem at all. I also really liked using it in the liners that I made for g-diapers and I have a few friends that have used it in mama pads, changing pads and all like it.

I have used Bamboo and I did love it, especially for the softness and being a natural fiber, but the Zorb does a great job and I am happy with it, especially for the price. Also, I would feel differently if the Zorb was touching the skin, but being in the soaker, I am less concerned about using a non-natural material (the same goes with the PUL)

We’ve been EC’ing her since she was 3 months old and it’s going very well. Was wondering if you think there is a way to modify your pattern so that the soaker pad becomes an insert rather than being sewn in.

Also, I’ve been doing some research on Zorb and came across several not-so-positive reviews. What has your experience been with this material? Have you tried bamboo, and if so, what are your comments? I would prefer to stick to all-natural materials, and since Zorb isn’t 100% natural, would like to explore using bamboo.

Thanks for posting this and your pattern!

They are really not that complicated to make… and no, once they are washed they are not stiff at all… I was just too much in a hurry to get a pic to put up with the tutorial and I was just about to put the girl to sleep so I put them on her right off the sewing machine…

I have made my son split crotch pants and they are great in the winter…easy to do with fleece! These look a bit more complicated but so much cheaper than buying them!…So I may have to give it a go! I see you re-use old onsies…hmmm… They look a bit stiff though – are they? I love EC and have also done it with my first son who is now 5 years old! He graduated at 17 months! 😀
