Fleece Longies

Another "oldie" but goodie.

I made these using the pants pattern. I altered it by increasing the rise, especially at the back. I simply added a fleece waistband, slightly stretched. The rise on these is huge almost goes up to Michael's armpits, just the way I wanted them. It's so cold here at night and often when I pick him up his singlet and top will rise and expose his tummy and back. The extra high rise will keep him warm on cold winter nights. He's in cloth nappies and an All-in-one suit tends to not fit over his bulky bottom, it's also a little tricky to change in the middle of the night. These pants are made out of Polar fleece and they act like a waterproof nappy cover, keeping the bedding dry.
