pattern prototype

I liked the pattern that I found for this ribbed soaker so much that I decided to try to make a pair of ribbed longies. I actually did these in December--finished on the way to Mom's for Christmas. I just hadn't posted about them. I love the concept, but these still need some work. When I try them on doll, Stella, they gape in the crotch area--the worst place! I have some ideas to fix that on future models and I'll definitely try again...
