    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.

    2. Measure and mark the inseam.


    3. Measure and mark the waist and the rise. Cut.


    4. Lay on top of the other sleeve and cut.


    Here are the two pants pieces.


    5. Turn one inside out.


    6. Place the sleeve that is right side up inside the sleeve that is inside out so that the right sides are facing each other.


    7. Pin the pieces together


    8. Sew or serge the two seams together.


    Here are the two sleeves serged together at the seams.


    9. Pull the leg out and turn everything right side out.

    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.


    Shows the toe piece sewn to the leg. (Sorry it’s so blurry!)




    14. Turn inside out.


    15. Pin the heel piece to the legs with right sides together.


    16. Sew heel piece to toe/leg opening.

    Elastic Waist

    17. Leave the pants inside out and fold down the waist to desired width. Pin.




    18. Sew around the waist leaving a small opening for the elastic.


    19. Cut the elastic. I lay it out over the waist and cut 1 ½ of the width of the waist.


    20. Attach a safety pin to the elastic to guide it through the casing.


    21. guide the elastic back around to the opening.



    22. Sew elastic together.


    23. Adjust elastic in the casing and sew shut.


    24. Turn everything right side out and you have footies!! Yay!
