They do say that "it's better late than never"......
These are Eden's birthday pants. Her birthday was in the beginning of July. I am rather pleased with how this pattern turned out. It is an Ottobre pattern quite rightly titled "so so skinny jeans". The instructions specify that the pattern is to fit a child whose waist and hip measurements are 4cm smaller for their height than those mentioned in the size chart. And BINGO! They fit! (with a belt - just to make sure). It is very difficult finding jeans for a skinny child. Adjustable waist pants when pulled in to the max stay up okay but aren't terribly comfortable with all those gathers. This was also only my second attempt at a true zipper front for pants and it turned out much better than my first attempt.
Check out the cute back pocket detail (although very tricky to see on that pattern fabric).
Eden likes them, so overall, a success.
Here are some more pant that I made last week. These took a whole lot less time and concentration, but how cute is the fabric?
That is all I have sewn lately, but I have a VERY long to do list, so hopefully more to come very soon.
On to what's been happening on a daily basis,...Ross has discovered a love of colouring in! He is passionate about it! Check out these masterpieces;
He likes the monochrome look, - choose a colour and stick to it! But seriously, I'm impressed with how he manages to stay somewhat within the lines, and with his concentration span! I kid not that he has often spent well over an hour colouring in. I now need to buy some more textas as these have very nearly run out of ink!
