i was excited to get this book for christmas, and i found directions to make pants using other pants for a pattern. the directions were telling you how to make pants out of an old shirt, using the current hem & the fold of the shirt to make a really simple pair of pants. i just used a remnant of fleece i had, and cut them on the fold of that. i can't believe how easy it was!
i only had enough fabric to make the stripes match up on miles' pants. even the back pocket matched right up! (please ignore my robe sleeves in the picture.. if i am dressed & ready before 10 am it is a miracle around here)
i got all but the back of one leg to match up on finny's. he got two back pockets, though, so he's happy! (it's all about negotiating with those difficult 9 month-olds... right?!)

really cute eve! That book sounds really cool too, I'll have to peruse it next time I'm at your house.
That fleece is the cutest! L-O-V-E the pants!!
You are so crafty and creative. Is there anyway you can send some 'craftiness' my way? I'm going to look into the book. Sounds like fun
