I had another sweater from Goodwill that I wanted to use for soakers and longies for William. This one is 100% lambswool and SO soft. It wasn't shrunken, so it feels thin.
The weather was turning colder and one of his few soakers was dirty, so I
really needed to get these done!

| Now I have this left |
 |
| I picked out the seams on the sleeves. |
 |
| And cut out two soakers |
 |
| I added to the sides as I didn't think it would be wide enough |
 |
I used the neckband ribbing for the top of this one!
I was going to add to the sides, too, but couldn't figure out how to with the little bits i had left! It's a little tighter, but still fits!

After shots:

A pair of longies and 2 soakers for $3.29.
Not bad, not bad at all!
|
 |
| and this is all I had left of the sweater! |
The soakers/longies work great even with them being thinner.
