Wool Soaker Shorts & Cloth Trainers


I found this great pattern for wool soaker shorts. I bought some 100% wool sweaters from Thrift town and felted them. I just made one so I could get the sizing right because no matter how I measure it never works out, so I need to make one and put it on my kiddo. These grey ones look super cute on her. I also adjusted the wool soaker pattern to make this pair of light green trainers, basically underwear with extra wet protection. The fabric is from an old t-shirt that a friend of mine no longer wanted. I cut the pattern out twice and sewed the wrong sides together leaving a space to turn it back inside out. I also sewed onto the wrong side of one extra wetzone protection. I used an old prefold that I cut up. The trainer I made worked better than the little beetle learner  I bought from Mamawise. I planning on adjusting the next one I make to fit even better because I felt the green trainer was just a little bit bulky.

  1. I think I need to see them being modeled or worn in action. :)
