Upcycled longies!

 
    I finally got around to cutting up some old sweaters and sewing longies for Evan. Here is Evan's first pair in a gorgeous purple grape color :) I found quite a few tutorials online on to how to do this however having experience in sewing pants I knew that a lot of them did not take into consideration the fact that pants are always slightly bigger and taller on the backside in comparison to the front. SO if you just cut off the sleeves and sew them together your pants won't have the proper proportions to accommodate the super cute baby bum. However I did find one very clear tutorial that showed how to take all of this into account and make super cute and easy longies...HERE

I also went one further and snipped off the bottom ribbing off the sweater and folded that in half, encased the elastic in it and used that for the waistband!
