I think this makes me an official sewing nerd. I was thinking of doing this anyway, but I did it now because of this contest .
Here's the back story (there is always a back story or a theory for everything around here). Andrew is not the most independent of children. At three and a half he has been using the potty for almost a year now. Unfortunately I can not convince him that he could actually do this without my presence. If Andrew pees in the potty and no one sees it, did he actually get relief? Apparently not.
Part of the deal with this, I think, is that I can't seem to find nice pants without snap waists. Little girls get all sorts of cute little yoga pants and skirts that just pull on, but little boys, with their slower fine motor skills development, are somehow stuck with zippers and snaps. I decided that it was time to figure out how to alleviate this situation and make things quicker and easier when summer comes and we're outside a lot, so I don't have to leave Aaron to play in traffic (which he most definitely would do) while I take Andrew to the bathroom.
I did the tutorial in Flikr because its kind of image heavy, so it just seemed easier. You can find it right here .

what an incredibly rude comment on sew mama sew about the tutorials...an okay start? next time, don't bother...people went to alot of trouble...
It was kind of a stupid comment. Sorry. I have tons of justifying excuses, but really, you're right. I was in a snarky mood and should have kept my "mouth" shut.
Fortunately, Elijah loves "soft pants" aka jogging pants, great for slipping on and off at potty time (a week and a half dry! yay!) ...unfortunately, Elijah loves "soft pants" and balks at anything else..."Jeans!!!" (imagine look of horror on his face) "I don't want to wear jeans!"
