Thread: Show & Tell -open to everyone

these longies are taking a long time, and im happy with that, I need to learn to be patiant and learn all the little tricks. I have about 6 hours so far on these.

the last 2 pair were done 1/2 by knitting machine, these are all hand knit.

It hink longies look so adorable i couldn't resist making a pair for my friend.. she is not cloth diapering so I did not use wool on them however I still think they will be just as cute! I also made a little hat to go with them.. the pom poms not the best my first attempt and making one of those!

so cute! love the colors, and the hat is addorable!

Awwww! Sweet! I love the colours. Is it the same as the mittens I made for Ella?

I went to a used clothing store today to find some wool for recycled longies. I made these footies out of a $2.00 lamb's wool sweater and some flannel I have (plus a couple of hours with my sewing machine)... I'll add action shots after they're washed and lanolized. Well worth 2 bucks!

Rebecca, you are so talented!!!!!

I pretty much followed this tutorial to make the pants..

Then for the feet I just looked at the feet on a pair of Gabriel's sleepers and mimicked what was done there. The next time I make a set, I'm going to take pictures and post a step-by-step on my blog.

Basically, it was cutting an oval for the bottom of the foot, cutting a half oval of fabric for the top of the foot, sew the toe together insideout, then sew it to the leg of the pants. But it likely doesn't make a whole lot of sense without pictures. Try looking at the feet on some sleepers...
