From shorties to longies - mod'd 2in1

As I've said before shorties and baby legs (leg warmers) are two great clothing pieces for cloth diapered babies.  And in the warmer months when your little one will be in shorties, having a pair of baby legs on hand is great should the temperature dip some.


So I made a matching pair or wool shorties (using monster bunz pattern mod'd to shorties), and baby legs.   To make the baby legs I used parts of the monster bunz pattern.  The leg cuff we know is a good width.  Add length to it if needed. That becomes your leg portion.  Then cut a small cuff for the top and one to fit the bottom (smaller for ankle).  One of the things I like about this is our spring/summer outfits will go from the earliest chilly days of spring till the last days of summer.  

Best part is together this looks like a pair of longies and monkey wore them this way today.

*also made the jacket out of old jeans and wool trim/hood.
