Pattern for cloth nappy trousers?

I'm sure I've seen links on here to patterns that will fit a cloth bottom, but haven't got far with my googling. Can anyone suggest a link? I'm sick of paying £10 for h&m ones!

here's one which works well apparently pattern no 3941

Courtesey of Washersaurus not me - I did a thread search as I knew I had seen a relevant thread somewhere.

I adapted a pattern I already had - just made the rise higher and the crotch lower to get a bigger bottom.

Another good tip is to get any pattern of baby/ toddler trousers from the 60's 70's as they were cut for cloth. You can just adjust for flares as needs be but tbh I found that most of the toddler stuff wasn't that far out and groovy .

If you get really stuck I can always post you out a copy of what I used. They sort of work out a bit like surf baggies - very trendy for us in Cornwall.
