New Sandbox Pants

He grows and grows....and more get made. This first pair is for Atlas, size 4. We call these the book pants.

Made with Anna Maria Horner's Volumes(I think) from the Drawing Room line and Oliver & S Sandbox pants.  I love love love these pants and almost have the directions memorized!

 Twill tape for the drawstrings shaves at least 10-15 minutes off of the total time to make these.....
my kinda thing!
 I didn't worry much about fussy cutting the back pockets like I did the front.
 These are a pair made from green and white ticking with Echino for the pockets and waistband.  I love the way these look together.  I wanted to find a semi-girly way to do these pants.
 More twill tape!



 Another pair of book pants

 I cut all the back pockets for the book pants with the grain going the "wrong" way - just to see....
I like how it looks....it's more noticeable in person, especially as this fabric has a little sheen to it.
The last two pairs are being donated to Atlas' school.  I never finished them in time for the auction in March...so we will have a mini auction just for the pants.
