Making Flongies?

[{sarah}]

I want to make a few pairs for my friend's bub due in July & I'm not really sure how to go about it! Do you just make them with microfleece or is there something special you need to use? Also can I just make them like regular pants?

TIA

From what I understand, you'd want a double layer of fleece (any should do) in the 'wet zone' - around the butt basically.

I use Little Additions fleece, then in the wet zone 2 more layers, sort of like shorts sewn in, with microfleece and fleece.

Hi there,
I was just about to make the same post!!! Does anyone know a pattern that works well?

Is it OK just to use fleece from the local sewing shop? Spotlight has a range of different fleeces at the moment. Any recommendations.

where do you get the Little Additions fleece?

Sorry to be a question mark!

little additions fleece is from spotlight

I just brought a pattern and changed it to accomodate the cloth bum. Took me 2 tries to get one that works

good question. I just got some spotlight fleece and was thinking about making them myself. I was going to try some form of pants with shorts built in, as suggested above. So you think any pj pants pattern should do the trick?
