I am just sewn my first pair of sketchbook shorts (2T). The only problem is that the rise at the back is low when worn with a cloth diaper. To make a higher rise at the back, is it just a matter of extending the back panels higher?

I found with my little ones it was just as easy to go up a size to accommodate a cloth nappy.

I suppose you could play around with the back but I would do a practice run before using special fabric.

Your 2T shorts are not wasted,my youngest has stopped wearing nappies and I have pulled out her 6-12 month skirts,pants and shorts for her to wear again.

Thankyou!! He may thin out a little when he starts to walk as well (he is quite chubby) and will remember that when he is out of nappies! (I used the term diaper because I thought American would be the known language here :p)

I think I will extend the back panels by 2 inches and the front by 1. Will give it a go tonight or tomorrow!

Do let us know how it goes Terri.
