stripey pants out of my old Tshirt

On Monday I was in major declutter/organize mode. I started with my shelves in the wardrobe, but I didn't get very far, because I got distracted for the rest of the day by the kitchen pantry. But in the brief time in my wardrobe, I made of stack of Tshirts i hated and wanted to get rid of. Coincidently, Marlowe needs pants. This stripey Tshirt wasn't so bad. It just looked dowdy on me. But it makes for some cute, comfy stripey pants for Marlowe. I added pockets on the sides for extra cuteness.

Making kids pants is so incredibly easy. Here's a good tutorial if you want to make some!

Jeannette,

those are sooo cute and look super comfy, you make me want to go buy a sewing machine and I can't even sew! :)

Those are adorable, I love the little pocket!

Great stripes, you're right! I learned to sew kids' pants from SouleMama's The Creative Family-- what a handy skill to have. I think Kent is going to get new Christmas pants every year! =)
