Butt Sweaters

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!

On William


























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.

  2. What a fantastic idea. Too bad that here in Malaysia the sun always shine.
