I've tried almost all of them and like the poochies pattern the best. I've taken all the other patterns and have modified them. I've also tried them on two completely different body types. My 3yr old Jack which I started on cloth dipes when he was 3mo is the skinny mini but potty trained now and my current chucky Monkey Reid is completely the opposite, huge thighs and a little budha belly. Anyhow, you might end up having to modify a bit on most all the patterns, but I still recommend the poochies pattern by far. Easy directions too.

Are you making front or side closing VB?

yeah, i think you could scale it down, but i'm not sure if you'd still want it to be a pocket (depends if the crotch is still wide enough to get your hand in there, kwim?). but i've used the pattern to make pul pockets and true aios with internal soakers and loved them. i love the fit of these, too. and i like it that i can put elestic at the front waist, which i can't do with front touchtape.

i'm making the vb's front closing. they're for my best friend who's pg with her first baby and i'm making her entire nb/small stash (yikes!), so i want to do a variety of styles so she knows what she likes when it comes time to buy or (gulp!) make her mediums.
