Hi there!! If you are stopping by via Pinterest or from another link, thanks so much for coming! And, while you're at it, take a look around...there's lots of fun stuff to see!
So, it seems that I have a bit of a theme going on here this week...reuse/repurpose. I guess I'm still feeling Earth Dayish after my week of earth friendly projects last week...
Anywho, today, was a bit of snip, snip, sew, sew of the boy variety...
I started with these shorts
They might not have been worn since shortly after this trip
This was taken on our trip to Alaska where we ran our first marathon...Hmmm, that was two years before Violet was born...I'm not sure why Brad was still hanging on to them. Oh wait, I can't blame HIM...I have been hoarding too small/too big clothes to use again for a long time ;)
So, these shorts were in great condition, just too small...I thought the pockets were awesome!! And, how much Henry would love to have a load of pockets at his disposal! So, a little snip, snip, sew, sew...
I, again, loosely used the Treasure Pocket Pants pattern from Sewing for Boys, mostly just for sizing, and the waistband, because I love that waistband so much, it's so simple and comfy for a little one! (In case you are interested there is a whole category on my side bar for these pants now since I feel like I've made them so many times...)
These shorts are awesome! In my humble opinion ;)
And there's that waistband! They are a bit long which was necessary to keep the pockets in tact, but the length makes them even better for hiking and climbing!
And, yes, he did fall in shortly after this...See...
Anyway, some perfect hiking shorts...Goodness...how is it that he is almost two?!!!
