Sphaera Short & Skirt (NB-2Y)

The Sphaera short & short is a versatile PDF sewing pattern designed to create comfortable and stylish bottoms for your tiniest trendsetters. With two lengths — a longer short and a shorter short — plus a cloth-diaper–friendly version, Sphaera offers the perfect fit for every little one. Choose to sew your shorts with or without a center seam, making it ideal for both solid and directional fabrics.

Customize your look with bands in ribbing or main fabric, or opt for a waistband with elastic or a comfy yoga waistband. For an extra playful touch, you can add the optional circle skirt overlay, or sew the skirt on its own as a separate piece.

Sphaera is a unisex pattern full of possibilities, whether you go for a sporty basic or a fun, twirly outfit. All pattern pieces include seam and hem allowance and come in sizes NB–2Y, making this a go-to staple for every season.

Sphaera Short & Skirt is suitable for cloth diapers

Using cloth diapers can make it challenging to find a bodysuit that fits well. Every cloth diaper system is different, and every baby has a unique shape. While it’s always possible to grade the pattern of the Sphaera Short & Skirt to match your specific cloth diaper system, we understand that this can feel overwhelming or time-consuming.

To make things easier for our cloth-diaper-using makers, we created a dedicated cloth diaper version of the Sphaera Short & Skirt. With this version, you no longer need to grade between multiple sizes to achieve a comfortable fit. Now, our cloth diaper fans can enjoy a perfectly fitting bodysuit with much less effort.

Suggested material for the Sphaera Short & Skirt

To create a Sivo Bodysuit, we suggest using medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 40% stretch, such as cotton lycra or jersey. These fabrics provide the right balance of comfort, recovery, and support for a well-fitting bodysuit. You can also experiment with lighter knit fabrics, but keep in mind that you may need to adjust the size if your fabric is thinner or has more stretch than recommended.

For the binding or bands, you can choose to use either ribbing or the main fabric. Ribbing offers extra stretch and makes binding easier, while using the main fabric gives a cohesive, streamlined look. The Sivo pattern includes pieces suitable for both options, but depending on the stretch and recovery of your chosen fabric, minor adjustments may be needed for the perfect finish.
