The Big Butt Baby Pants Sewing Pattern is a digital PDF sewing pattern for baby girls or boys.  The pants feature a rear panel that adds plenty of room for diapered babies.  They are designed to fit over cloth diapers but work great over disposable diapers too. The options are endless; you can add ruffles, pockets, fold-over cuffs or shorten them into bloomers, capris or shorts.  Instructions include directions for ruffled rear panel and fold-over cuff. With so many possibilities for variation, this is the only baby pants pattern you will ever need!
