Potty Learning Fun! Or Not. (More Wool Longies!)

So I was super productive today because I decided to be try to be diaper free (or down to 1 in diapers) with Loki.

Here is my 2nd pair of wool longies :
And my 3rd: The 1st were done sometime in the winter. Check them out here and here!

The 2nd pair has no elastic at the waist. I figured that the fabric was pretty stretchy and tight-ish so we will see how it goes/ fits once the toddler wakes from his nap.

The 3rd pair have elastic at the waist and I think they are going to be too big. I may end up redoing them. We will see.

I will be using these over "training" pants at night and cross my fingers they work. I should mention that I am also planning on Lanolizing them too.

Gotta run baby is awake!

Sweet Success!

                 
Pants in Action!!! This morning I managed to get the pants I made on him. These are made out of two sleeves from a felted thrift store sweater. I used a basic pant pattern to know where to cut the crotch and rise. I think I will make some tweaks to it and then try again. Maybe I'll even generate my own pattern. We'll see. It might be a bit ambitious. 

So soft and Cozy! So much so that he didn't even want to take them off.

Wool Longies from old Sweater Sleeves. Way to save money!



 Look 2 posts in one week! Wow! My goal is going to be posting  every other day for the month of April, so check back often you never now what your going to find


I have a pile of sweaters that were supposed to become sweater bunnies but have been sitting in a heap instead. I hacked them all up into manageable pieces. 





I saved all the sleeves intact so that I could try my hand at making some wool longies.


I think I'm going to start with the blue ribbed ones and then move onto the crazy giraffe print ones. They are both super soft merino wool.
