I actually used the legs first and wondered what to do with the rest of the jammies! <br />We had gotten a very small puppy in December, which in central Canada, means she needed a sweater. I cut the leg off a pair of jammie bottoms and cut two holes to accomodate her little legs (with the seam running under her tummy center) at the cuffed end and tapered the thigh end so it was longer on the back and shorter under the tummy so she could still tinkle! I finished off the raw edges on the sewing machine. It worked perfectly and as she grew, I upsized the jammies! Now I can make knickers out of the leftovers! <br />Great, practical ideas!Jenninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-71073787487358454922010-09-27T10:41:27.356-06:002010-09-27T10:41:27.356-06:00I love it!

We like the bloomers pattern from Weekend Sewing, ourselves, also very workable for immodest children and as shorts by themselves--it's an odd, sort of ethnic-looking combination, when Willow dresses herself in a t-shirt and bloomers for the day.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574269791828128314.post-37384446037950672542009-06-25T21:48:28.980-06:002009-06-25T21:48:28.980-06:00Brilliant!!!
