I made one of these for my sister and she loved it. I better get working on a new one cause she is having a boy in a couple months and I dont think he would care for the my little ponys one I made for his sister. I ordered my pattern off of ebay. |

Very cute! I was going to make one for my dd but she decided she didn't want one. Just as well-I'm still not done making all of what I've promised to make. LOL

Ok im really sorry it took me this long to get back to yall that wanted to know!!! I just lol (a month later) am doing the next one!!! Ok so here is how i do it.. I picked a top peice and a bottom peice ( for example: i picked Bandana for the top and denim for the bottom so it can be reversible) i bought 45 inches of it so that it would measure 45 by 45 when you layed it all out!! then i bought a thing of quilt batting.. cut that 45 inches also.. Then i lay the denim and bandana right sides togeather and then lay the batting on top of that.. Round the corners Then I pin it togeather just like im making a quilt and sew it all togeather all the way around leaving an opening to turn it Turn it right side out! Then i lay it on the floor again.. (All these measurements im taking i mark) i measure 15 inches from the top.. 15 inches from the left side and 15 inches from the right side.. Now i divide the inside of the right side to left side in half and leave a 1 inch peice in the middle.. so each leg hole opening should be about 7 inches all the way around.... Now i use the extra wide double fold binding all the way around the leg holes Now back to the edges. Whatever size elastic your going to use. i sew all the way around the outer edge a casing for the elastic... Now depending on how tight you want it run the elastic around the casing and i always take mine to walmart to measure it on a cart to make sure it fits right!!! Then you sew the opeing you used to turn the fabric closed!!!! Well i hope i got everything if you have any ?S just pm me... |
