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.
