Sandbox Pants

I've been meaning to make these for a while.  Sandbox Pants from Oliver & S.  Finally, my son now has a pair of pants that aren't capris!

He's grown so much recently, all his pants are way too short.  I think this pattern is rated a one scissor, and it really is that easy.  I screwed up the waistband by fussy cutting the cars totally wrong.  I completely forgot that the waistband was to be folded in half.  Doh!  At least the fussy cut car pockets came out great.  Oh, and no buttonholes on the back pockets.  I'm just not a fan........(lazy).   :)

I really love the way they came out.  For the main part I used ticking I had bought forever ago at a local home dec. store.   I think the Echino cars go great with it.  My goal lately has been to try and make the kids more clothes.  While it is sooooooo much cheaper to go to Old Navy or Target, I just love one-of-a-kind things so much.  And I love spending time making them things......

I plan on participating in Elsie Marley's Kids Clothes Week Challenge, so hopefully I can get a few more pairs of these made.  I already have the main fabric cut for a pair of shorts.  I'm thinking I'll do another Echino fabric for the pockets.

Aaaaahhhh, another Monday - they come on so soon., don't they......
