And now may I present to you, unapologetically, another pair of Oliver and S sailboat pants. Maybe its time for a new gig...anyone tried the sketchbook pants? I wanted to make this version in dreamy aqua and white for the last few days of Celebrate the Summer Boy, and then its back to reality...winter.
I did forewarn that there would likely be a mass 'pipification' of everything following this project.
So when my local ran out of the real thing there was no choice but to DIY. I'd never have thought it was as simple as slotting some cord inside bias tape; so obvious now.
The best part: my gentle pestering finally paid off and this vintage photo tee was generously donated to our cause; that is to be hacked up and re-fashioned from daddy to Archie size. No part of the beast was wasted and even the 'v' neck made it across.
great pants, such a summer colour, go the piping!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Do you adjust the pattern or is it perfect the way it is?

Oh I may need to copy these. Aaaand, pipification! Yay for new things addictive.
ReplyDeletePerfection! And really inspiring. Love your blog, keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog through the celebrate the boy week and I'm just in love with your sense of style. I'm a young mom with a 2 year old and 10 month old (both girls) and have recently started sewing so I can totally relate to where you are at!
ReplyDeleteThanks all! This pattern is pretty much perfect as it is, nothing needs to be adjusted, and the sizing is spot on.
ReplyDeleteLove the pants and the picture with the tummy. So cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat pants. And this T-Shirt just had to be made into a Kids T-Shirt, right?
