for wool sweaters. I made one for Zoe tonight, but made the legs log so she stays warm. I'll post a picture in a bit...

just thought I would add this to the felted sweater mix.




I have figuired a better way to cinch them shut, she is a skinny minnie so I had to put the bbelt on it, and we wrap it around twice and knot it in the front....She is so freakin' cute running around in them...

Tasha, those are realllllly cute!! They must be reallllly warm too! Are they itchy at all? Just curious! I think these are adorable. Did you soak them in the lanolin and other herbs to water proof them? Wish I would have done something like this for my babes when they wre little. Unfortunately, our share is in a landfill somewhere.
You are so creative!! LOVE THESE!!

I do wash them in a wool wash for the lanolin. They are awesome and so far she doesn't seem to itch. They felted very soft.

These are the cutest I've ever seen. I used to make them for my kids, but never made them out of wool sweaters....
The cutest!!!!!

Tasha, very cute and clever!

I did something similar for my son, I made pants by cutting off the arms of a shirt and sewing them together...
I totally forgot about that 'till just now.
I badly need to make some clothes for my youngest and this will speed up the process.

Take care,
Faith

Kudos! I'll bet she is cuddly and warm in those leggings. Really cute idea!

SO very cute!! I love to see small children run around in natural clothing, cloth diapers, mommy-made clothes. They are so precious and sweet. Lovely. What a happy home you must make.

Tasha..super cute, and cuddly warm too. Those turned out so well!
My little monkey is always so cold, but won't stay dressed...and since Eldon "felted" some of my sweaters by accident when I was so sick this winter, and I couldn't bear to throw them out....I will have to try this!

Do you use it for a wool diaper cover as well?
Have you used wool diaper covers?
Do they smell?

Love and light to you
