cool kid pants

I made two new pairs of pants for Marlowe. I did a combination of an elastic waist/ drawstring. The details are Heather Ross fabric that I splurged on and just love, love, love. Aren't those fishies so fun? (and, yes, he is standing briefly without holding on) And the colors of the frogs and turtles make me think of summer. I'm still perfecting some things, but I'm liking the direction the pants are taking, and Marlowe is a (mostly) willing model.

Those pants are adorable! Love the fishies.

And he's standing all by himself at 8 months??!? That kid is crazy mobile!

He is so cute!!!!!!!!!

so what fabric are the pants themselves?

Laura, I used a lightweight denim and khaki for each. My hope is that they'll be useful in the summer, too.

Loving them. If I didn't have so many pants for Owen, I would totally copy you.

Any experience making overalls?

no experience with overalls. my advice would be to get a pattern for those, since they're more complicated.

Your pants are so cute! I've been forwarding your links and posts to friends of mine who sew. Cuz I don't. At least, not well. You keep getting better and better! Great job!
