Recycled Footies Tutorial (VERY pic heavy)
This is a tutorial to make recycled footed pants. You can use wool or fleece for a diaper cover, or any other material for pants. I have used a sweatshirt for the tutorial.
**Skip to post 2 for footies only directions**

1. Cut out the arms of a sweater or sweatshirt. Make sure that it’s big enough for the size footies that you need.
Cut out 2 toe pieces and 2 heel pieces. If you would like to use a knit print to match cut out 2 for the toes with the stretch going side to side.
Here is a template to use for the toes and heel pieces, just make sure to make them larger for larger baby and kids. You can also trace around your child’s foot leaving room for the seams.

10. Cut out a two inch crescent shape out of each of the leg openings in the front.
**If you are not using a sleeve, make sure that your leg openings are not too large for the heel piece. If they are, you will need so take them in first.

11. If you are using knit pieces, place them on top of the toe pieces from the sweater.

12. Pin the toe piece to the leg opening at the crescent with right sides together.

13. Sew the toe piece to the leg opening. It helps to stretch the leg piece to make sure that it’s getting sewn to the toe piece.
