Neck facing and collar - Nature Walk Tunic |
Next I made some shorts from the Sketchbook Shirt and shorts pattern. Brown linen, maybe some rayon mixed in(Joann Remnant Bin) so I'm not sure :) SO easy and soft and comfy and he LOVES them. Waaay better reception than the tunic. Warm happy feeling is back!
And then I made another pair of Sandbox pants with Echino pockets - my absolute favorite thing right now. And the boy loves them as well. They are really man-pri/ short pants. I was going to cut these and make shorts since I was short some fabric lengthwise. I waited until I finished them and hemmed them to see how long they really were, and they were long enough! Sweet. I love these a lot. They are a total mish-mash.
I used an upholstery fabric that was bought years ago. I used some ruler printed twill tape for a size tag. I love it! It was a scrap that had 4 on it, so I used it. I think I will be making these pants until he hates them. They are so easy to make, now that I've made a few. Such a bummer this pattern is out of print. If you can find it, get it. I think I will try making a girly pair soon.

Oh gosh. They are all so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the pants (and the pullover). I'm going to be making the pullover soon. I am not sure what the reception will be either. You just never know. I might have to get that sandbox pattern. My older son is so picky and he's between sizes so nothing fits him. The size for 4-8 is still available at Oliver+S, it's just the younger size that is out of stock. He's slightly outside the size 8 measurements though..hmm...
ReplyDeleteLucky boy they are all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI hunted the pattern down on the internets! Internets loved me long time and now I need to make some of these pants. You know I'm making a pair with ticking and Echino. Sooooo love that look.
