Pants for the birthday girl

It's my littlest's birthday on Monday. And apart from the usual birthday list, she requested some mummy made pants - long & short to wear to bed. Who am I to deny her that - even if it was out of my all time favourite fabric that I've been hoarding since I bought it. Saving it for just the right project.

A really long pair.

And some short ones.

Hope she likes them.

Pants

On Sunday - in an effort to wipe out my WIP's, I grabbed two large bits of fabric (that were earmarked for skirts) and started cutting out pants.

Then I got sidetracked with the million other things needing to be done. So that was that.
But today I had some time - so I sewed them up. I even got to play with my overlocker for the first time since buying it.

I even got them done in time to bake a hummingbird cake before school pick up.

Now I can't wait to have a warm shower and get in my new super comfy jammie pants and curl up to watch My Kitchen Rules.
What are you doing tonight?

Bungle Jungle pants

 Today I stopped procrastinating and finally made the pants. They were so quick I don't know why I didn't just do them last week. I used Bungle Jungle. This was my favourite paper line from Sassafras so I was super happy to see it in fabric. I don't know which side I like more.

I think they are both pretty cute.
These are for my Great nephews birthday on Sunday. I am going to try and make him a lunch box too if I get time. You know, amongst the million other things I'm trying to do this week. Well, at least that is another thing off the list ;o)

Reversible Poofy pants

Today was the day to get them done. I've had the pieces cut for a few weeks now. I bought the pattern here.

I think these ones are my favourite.

They have green stars on the inside.

Then these ones are flanelette. Snuggly & warm.

With cute buttons on the inside (which I cut upside down. Sshh)

And little happy bear ones.

With more happy bears on the inside.
Now I can happily start on the next thing and strike these off the to do list. 1 down, 50 million to go.

I was finally starting to feel better yesterday, so along with a little housework I decided it was time to make the kids pants.
They were such a quick and enjoyable sew. I'm thinking that I just might be able to crank out some short ones from the fabric I have left from both of them. I hope so.

They wore them to bed last night. So cute.

Off to make some more hot tea. It is super chilly!!

Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants

I've been sick for the past week but needed a little sewing pick me up. Something that I could complete in a couple of hours with not alot of fuss. Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants was it!
I pick up the flannelette last week from Spotlight. I whipped it up in a couple of hours. Doing a little bit here & there. Finished them at 5:05pm and realised my elastic was too wide. Did a quick dash to Spotlight and made it with 5 minutes to find what I needed.
Luckily I found some and got them finished.
I have never made clothes before - except for in high school I made a t-shirt, overalls and a lingerie set.
Now I really want to to make a dress.
That is of course after I finish everyone elses jammie pants - which I know I won't be up to today.
I bought the pattern here. Instant download - now that is my kind of shopping!
