If anyone is interested: Sweater pants instructions
I guess this is what you guys call a Sew Along? I put up some step-by-step instructions on making sweater/soaker pants for a friend of mine. I thought I would share them here in case anyone is interested.
I know most people make these out of wool for diaper covers, but I didn't have many wool sweaters so I make mine mostly out of soft cotton sweaters -- still plenty of space in the seat for a cover. I have so many that I will never wear but I'm not ready to part with them yet.

super cute! i just made a pair 4 cody. used the "one leg inside teh other" method... just that is only way i know.
hard 2 explain while nursing in the dark here, but the pants came out great! i will go 2 the thrift store 2 get larger sweaters tomorrow... this pair is a little short in the rise.
thanky9ou so much for posting these instructions. i was looking for a nice warm idea for pants that are not fleece...

Originally posted by AndreaBash I'm not great with sewing technique, can you elaborate on that? I am feeling a little lame for not understanding what you mean.
Don't feel lame, I'm not explaining it very well. It's the one leg inside the other like Smartpants/Jenylynn said. You put one leg inside the other, rightsides together, and then you sew around the crotch seam. I can do a pair tomorrow and illustrate if you want.
You can take an existing pair of pants and stick one leg in the other to see how it looks after it's sewn. It's really easy, it just doesn't make sense until you actually see and do it.
Thanks for taking the time to do a pictoral sns
