Spring Break???

I thought having spring break would mean..... a break!

Well, it is for the kids, but not for me!!!

I have spent almost the whole last week sewing!

I have been working on a big project (which I mentioned in an earlier post), but got stalled on it as I am needing more material. In the next day or so I hope to take a photo of what I have done so far and post it for you!

In the meantime, I got to work on this pattern I found at
http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-and-pattern-kid-pants.html

It is a very basic pants pattern and tutorial, and seriously easy to sew!

Aiden was very excited I was making him new pants, and didn't want to take them off when I measured him for hemming.

They look so cute!

Considering the success of the first pair, I decided to try another one, this time making it much more fancier.

With a matching shirt! :o)

I just cut out a tie pattern, fused it on, and stitched the edges with a straight stitch. The tie is also made with a tee shirt, so I am not worried about unravelling...

So for the pants!!!

Aren't they sweet?

I embellished them with sewn cuff bottoms and little buttons with straps...

Buttons on the flat front...

Extra little tabs on the pockets... the pockets are a necessity for Sunday pants as that is where he stores his church candies... ;o)

And even lined the pockets with the matching tee!

I also double stitched everything and sewed the seams down flat to give them extra durability...

because I am going to need it with this little guy in them!!!

I love the retro look of these pants!
