Also, I find hemming the belly side a little tricky. Any tips to make that any easier? I decided to try a flannel pair today and realized that the flannel has no give so I am using ribbing for the neck. I have had lots of people ask for them but do find working with stretchy material very tedius.

You and me both Cindy... you are braver than I am. I have yet to even attempt to make a pair. Plus I wouldn't even begin to know where to start.


Hope you figure it out and get some help from someone who does them. Maybe Melanie or Aymee, they both make them.


My only suggestion would be to try a sweatshirt type of material. It has plenty of give/stretch to it, come in a couple different weights and I think would be much easier to sew with.
