Birthday pants
May 8, 2008 by littlegemsession
As you can see by the lighting in this picture this morning is dark and grey but I still forced poor MrC to model one of his new pairs of pants. I sewed up 5 pairs of pants for Mr almost 7 for his birthday. These ones are thrifted wool lined with calico. The patchpockets have details with Japanese cotton. I adapted a PJ pattern (also thrifted). I also made 2 pairs in a soft green cauderoy, 1 pair in denim and up-cycled a pair of my pants to fit him (poor boy!). Why so many? Because he puts holes in the knees so quickly I’m hoping many pairs will delay the holes, hmmm, we’ll see…
Nice pants! You are clever.
I’m mean to Willo, though, in that I patch his jeans to get a few more months out of them. I do try to use cute fabric for the patches, though.
Happy birthday, C!

Ha, yes, I patch C’s pants too then he gets holes in holes! Sometimes I think he spends all day crawling or something!
