I thought I'd start with Mr.O's wardrobe this time for two reasons; firstly because he is in desperate need of pants, so much so that he's been wearing big sis' small leggings at home. Secondly, I still find sewing for girls a bit more exciting and fun, so I was afraid if I start sewing for Miss O I might never get around to little bro.
I absolutely enjoyed making these pants, my heart was smiling with every stitch I made (not!). I only used two different patterns, so it went pretty fast once I had figured out the patterns. The simple pants with the drop crotch are made from the Brindille and Twig Side Pocket Pants pattern and the ones with pockets and elastic are made from the Mini Hudson Pants pattern by True Bias. I love both patterns for different reasons, one being very quick and simple to sew and very roomy for cloth diapers, the other has a perfect fit and more details, making it look more store bought than mama made.
Here are a few more pictures of the waist and pocket detail on the Mini Hudson Pants pattern. I would say I'm an advanced beginner sewer and this pattern was pretty straight forward for me, very well written and illustrated, making it easy to understand. The only thing I struggled with a bit is the elastic, but I'll figure it out with a few more attempts.
Action shots with this boy are very hard to get, but I managed to snap a few blurry ones. These pants are definitely going to get lots of wear, he has already gone through two pairs this morning!
