Newbie question...wool soakers??

[juleslane]

So far, I have been a bum genius type gal, but for this new babe, I have been really intrigued by wool soakers. Call me clueless though, but so many baby clothes come in outfits or as onesies. how do you dress your little one with cute wool soakers and longies?? plain old white t-shirts?? ANyone have pics of babies in soakers and longies??? Any good places to buy?

Sorry for all the questions! Told you I am a newbie, lol!

I usually do longies or shorties w/ a t shirt that matches. I buy most of my wool from Kimi at Atwistedstitch.com and some off hyena cart. I like interlock soakers on small babes under gowns. I like sustainable babyish and wild child woolies, both on hyena cart. If I can figure how to post any pics I will!! (I usually buy a matching shirt w/ my longies or shorties set)

we use mostly wool for DD. she has a long torso so most onsies don't fit her anyway. if you look you can find lots of super cute baby tshirts, or you can convert your onsies to ts.
here are a few pics for you.....

her pants are interlock wool

I use longies for my ds2 a lot, often with a t-shirt, or sometimes with a onesie, just unsnapped (around the house).

I didn't use wool soakers outside the house all that much, but when I did, I found that onesies snapped around them without any trouble. Sweatpants, etc. work okay too.
