Soft fleece will be a nice alternative too. <br /><br />Thank you for a great pattern!Heidi Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739521456999762753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540551283728813270.post-40262659312492221822010-05-10T07:49:43.291-04:002010-05-10T07:49:43.291-04:00Heidi - I've used the anti-pill and the blizza...Heidi - I've used the anti-pill and the blizzard fleece from Joann's fabric. I make sure to sew an extra layer in the wetzone and they have worked really well for us. <br /><br />When you say longer legband, do you mean it is longer down the leg, or longer around the thigh? If you make it longer around the thigh, it won't fit well into the leg hole when you are sewing. It would be easier to size up on the pattern. <br /><br />If you mean longer down the leg, I think you could definitely do that. Just cut the rectangle for the leg band a bit wider. If you wanted to make actual shorts or pants, there is a pattern for them on Katrina's website. Hmm, does that make sense? I just re-read it and it seemed confusing :(Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08667340904159246442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540551283728813270.post-1833317978457323992010-05-10T07:43:25.721-04:002010-05-10T07:43:25.721-04:00AJ's Mama - glad it was so helpful!

I would love to make some print soakers for my girls. <br /><br />Also - are they a good night soaker?Heidi Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739521456999762753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-540551283728813270.post-88030680351095787902010-05-05T22:18:57.362-04:002010-05-05T22:18:57.362-04:00Fantastic tutorial.

I used to be a decent sewer but haven't done much sewing in a long time so I was a bit nervous about starting up again and potentially wasting good recycled sweaters and fleece. Wish me luck. ;)Lindsayhttp://www.attachedmama.netnoreply@blogger.com
