It has been FAR too long!

Today I made a pair of fleece longies (pants that are also a cloth diaper cover). I used this tutorial.

First I made the pattern according to the tutorial. This was more of a pain that actually sewing it, believe it or not!
Cut out the legs, leaving a 1/4" seam allowance. This is some nice blue fleece that my mom had leftover from making my grandma what was pretty much an adult sleep sack.
Pinned them, right side together.
I sewed the legs and waist together.
Pinning together the rise. I ran into some trouble here, and in the crotch. It left a big hole, I was too conservative not coming to the end every time.
Obviously things were going too well. This was not good.
Stretching out the waist to fit the pants.
Done! They are probably too long but they will fit before much time passes.
