Wool Longies

MrsMFEO

I use Katrina's quick soaker pattern and want to make some longies out of sweater sleeves, but there is no extra lining layer like the soakers. My soakers seem to require the extra layer to work, so I'm thinking that this longie pattern would not be so good for me. I have made two so far, one may work, but the size is weird. The baby is almost 4 months old, and it seems like it maybe a while before pants even fit right. 

It also depends on what we want to do for clothes this winter. Right now we only own footies/sleep n plays - soakers are best for that, but maybe I'll want longies if I buy some sweaters. 

So, does anyone use single layer longies from old sweaters? Do they somehow work differently to not need the extra layer?
