The pants in action

Friday, November 28, 2008

Here they are on my model! I LOVE these pants and am so happy with the way they turned out.

Good thing the clothes basket distracted him so I could get a pic :)


He looks pretty happy with the pants on, huh! Here he is driving around on his little bike.




Army / crocodile pants

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

I made yet another pair of pants for J today. They are just so easy and so quick that I'm addicted! I'm trying to get them a bit better each time. An overlocker would REALLY help to make the inside sems a lot neater. Oh well, until then I will just keep on going.

This fabric is really cute :) It's army print, but they are little crocodiles. Found it on the children's fabric table at Spotlight the other day and thought they'd look cute as little pants :)






Blue pjs

Third attempt at little pants and they fit perfectly! Woot! They look great. The legs are the perfect width and the waist fits really well.

He has now worn them for 2 days in a row (including the daytime) as I'm loving watching him run around in pants I made! (And of course underneath the pants he is wearing nappies I made him :) )



Brown spotty pants

My second attempt at pants for my son. Oh I love them! They are so funky. But, they are too small :cry: The legs were fine, but I took them in all the way round and made the waist too small. Such a shame. I have more of this fabric so might give it another go if there is enough.





Wide leg children's pants

I found a free pattern for very simple children's pants online and thought I'd give it a go. It was so easy! The first pair I made are posted here. The legs are a bit wide, but they look pretty groovy and hippyish on my little boy! Next ones will be thinner leg, but these are still pretty cool :)








Headband

A lovely girl from a forum I visit sent me a headband that she made and it is so nice! Thought I could give it a go too. This is my first attempt. Happy with it, but it can definitely be improved. I made it as a gift and the person I gave it to has worn it and says she likes it. Woot!

The fabric is really gorgeous too. The person I made it for loves her pink so I selected this fabric from the pink fabrics at the local fabric store.





Cotton outside

Oh my! Oh MY! I LOVE this nappy. I saw on a forum that another girl was using cotton on the outside of her nappy. So I bought this gorgeous fabric (Michael Miller) and made this gorgeous nappy. It is soooo lovely.
BUT, the nappy doesn't really work too well :( It wicked!! Nooooo. It has PUL on the inside so dunno what was going on. Such a shame as it is beautiful *sigh*






Red doggy nappy

Made this AIO honeyboy nappy with dog flannelette and red microfleece. Very happy with the outcome!









Army nappy

Bought this fantastic blue army minky online and love it! Just used plain blue flannelette on the inside (and the inside really is a bit messy for my liking) but I do like the end product. Very cute on too















It's been aaaaagggggeeees

Gosh, I haven't been in here in yonks! I had a dry patch where I didn't do much sewing, but lately I have been biten by the bug and have been sewing up a storm :)
