Pdf sewing pattern for a side / back closure (snap or hook& loop) cloth diaper / nappy. Makes changing diapers easier and less like a wrestling match!

** This listing is for a digital sewing pattern - not a physical item **

Diaper change may become almost impossible when your baby learns to roll over. Keeping them still on their back long enough to change may be a lost struggle. At least it was for me when my daughter learned to roll over. Frustrated with the combination of front closure diapers and a baby inevitably on her tummy, I developed this on-tummy diaper model that can be put on a baby backwards. It has proved to be highly functional also for bigger babies and toddlers who crawl/walk/run away as you try to change their diaper. The back closure is also handy, if your kid has the habit of ripping the diaper off.

This pattern comes with a step-by-step tutorial, with a clear and informative photo for each step. It is suitable for advanced beginner level sewers, no serger needed.

⭐ FEATURES ⭐
• Pocket diaper - pattern for diaper and insert
(can be also used to sew fitted, cover, AIO, and AI2 type diapers)
• One size - adjustable snap rise
• For babies from ca. 6 kg / 13 lbs up to ca. 15 kg / 33 lbs, depending on the build of the baby
• Back/side closure with snaps or hook&loop => easier diaper change for rolling, crawling and walking babies/toddlers
• Option for PUL flap in front => keeps the inserts in place and may prevent leaking when sleeping on tummy
• Elastics on both front and back of the waist => can be used as a pull up type diaper for standing kids
