Making Your Vinyl Pants

VINYL PANTS
I have made vinyl pants to use with my cloth diapers. The total cost was $4.38. For the vinyl I used a medium weight shower curtain liner bought at Walmart. From this one liner I had enough vinyl to make two pairs of vinyl pants. I also bought the leg and waist elastic at Walmart. Since I did not have a sewing pattern, I made one using an old pair of vinyl pants that had some holes in them and were no longer usable.
Here is what I used:
Waist elastic 3/4” package cost with tax $1.04 used all $1.04
Leg elastic 3/8” package cost with tax $1.04 used 2/3 $0.69
Medium weight frosted shower liner $5.30 used 1/2 $2.65
-------
$4.38
Incidentals:
Thread, glue, tape, paper
I have found that the ones I made are more robust than any vinyl pants I have bought.
If you or your partner can sew you can make your own also. If you would like step by step instruction send me a private message with your email address and I will send you a PDF file of how I made them
