DIY Sewing Patterns for Elimination Communication Split Pants (Trousers)
The photo above shows a pair of split crotch pants made from the Do-it-yourself EC pattern, with added ankle cuffs. This pattern could use a bit of refining, so you might like the results better on your second attempt. These split crotch pants worked well when my son was out picking apples in chilly weather and did not always make it back inside in time to use the potty.
