I love a good craft book, and I have to admit that I've come across quite a few lately, which makes my heart beat faster and these long days of rain go by a bit quicker. I think I mentioned that I picked up this book recently and quite honestly I can. not. put. it. down. Mostly every page is dog eared and marked with a "to do," I've made shopping lists and am really excited about most every project that I have picked out.
A few minutes spent digging around Michael's drawers for some summer-like pants led me to start on the first project from her book, the huck finn pants.
The beige pants in the first two pics are made out of fabric that I got here. And the second pair I made is this fabric, but like an idiot I bleached mine when I washed it before sewing them up. Doofus. So the blue is kind of non-existent. I made a third pair out of this funky terrycloth that definitely was on sale when I bought it!. I just have to finish the waistband and I'll be done. Just so you know, I did not follow the pattern properly on either I do not want to have an adjustable waistband and buttons and all that, it's too much for me right now, the kid just needed some funky pants, and funky pants he received.
oh and here's a pic of what really goes on, so that you don't get the impression that any of this - sewing, photos, and posting is easy.
The big brown blur at the bottom of the photo, yeah, that's the older one hurling himself off of the ottoman in the room, "look mama a big "mang" (bang for those of you who don't speak two-year-old).
Love them!! If you ever feel like trying some little girl dresses...let me know! ;o)
