This is a potty warmer so that Jonah won't mind sitting on the potty when its a little chilly outside! It was fun figuring out the pattern and sizing the elastic to fit properly. The wool cover exactly fits where he sits but doesn't get in the way of where he pees, its kinda neat!

These are some waterproof trainers that really can hold quite a large pee. They have a PUL (polyurethane laminate) outer with a flannel inner, and a flannel soaker. I loved using my serger elastic foot to sew the elastic on the legs and waist. It was a little frustrating trying to regulate how tight the elastic was being pulled, I guess its kind of an art I'll have to master.
They are super cute on:
These are split crotch pants that spread at the crotch for quick pottying. When Jonah sits on the potty or is held in the classic position he can go and we don't have to pull down his pants.

Thanks for sharing! I'm just learning to sew and, of course, all things EC and diapering are at the top of my list. My very first project was making a sweater into a soaker from the sleeves. But still lots to learn!
Glad you enjoyed reading. Let me know if you have any sewing questions!
Actually, I do have a question for you. I don't have a serger so I'm trying to do a zig-zag stich close to the edge for some soakers I'm making. However, I'm using the regular all purpose foot and its a bear to try to feed all the layers of fabric through and the foot constantly wants to pull to the side. In other words I can't ride the edge, if that makes sense. Any ideas? Are there better feet for this?
I'm going to try getting some serger instruction at my local sewing lounge but in the mean time I'd like to do what I can with my home machine.
Thanks in advance!
I find that it helps to hold your fingers (pressing down) on the wool just before it goes under the foot. This allows you to compress it and guide even better.
Sewing machines do tend to struggle with the thick wool but I found the more I sewed with it the more experience I had and the more success so keep trying:)
