I couldn’t end my week of sewing without making something for my boy, Grant. Nothing, too exciting here- except for the fact that he’s actually getting some homemade clothing love, which is rare in these parts!
I used a the “quick-change trousers” pattern from Handmade Beginnings. It took a long time to cut the pattern pieces and all the fabric since these pants are reversible. I had to scrounge for some boyish fabric… I had a lot of this charcoal blue corduroy, and some random clearance fabric.
They definitely fit well, a tad big, but if he can do his normal thing like climbing on tables and chairs- I’m happy.
I’m glad I took part in KCWC this time around… I did my fair share of sewing, but I am definitely out of steam.
Looking forward to several days of beautiful weather while my sewing machine takes a nice long nap.
Thanks for stopping by!
