Alright, so, maybe I'm getting into this KCW thing...
Or maybe I just took advantage of a two hour delay this morning and kiddos happily playing together long enough for me to grab my hour of sewing...
Today brings two pairs of Fancy Pants leggings. I am no stranger to Fancy Pants! I've made 1,2,3,4 and 5,6,7 and 8 and 9,10 and 11 (and 12 & 13 that were't blogged)! While I do love them so very much, and they do come together oh so quickly and are just adorable on those little legs, I'm not necessarily the reason for all of the Fancy Pants...I "blame" Henry!
This kid seriously does not want to wear anything but leggings! It's a source of many an argument when it comes to clothes wearing around here. So, I suppose I ought to just give him what he wants, right?
These are made out of an XL sweatshirt that I bought on clearance. If he insists on wearing leggings, I wanted to make them a little bit warmer than just straight knit.
As he and I were hunting through the clearance section I held up sweatshirt after sweatshirt asking him if he wanted a pair of leggings made out it...no, no, no...the woman shopping near us must have thought I was nutty! Clearly Henry doesn't have my "vision"! I bought one anyway to give it a try. As soon as he saw them he told me "I am going to wear these today, because I think that they look very handsome!" So maybe I'll head back to buy some more sweatshirts! Of course, after I made Henry his pair Violet decided that she wanted a pair too...
I really had to finagle the fabric to get another pair cut, which gave me a) a headache and b) a couple of weird seams
Also, I wish I had gone up a size for each because this sweatshirt material doesn't stretch quite as much as I had anticipated...live and learn.
Also, the sweatshirt had a kangaroo pocket in it which gave a funny little pocket at the bottom of one leg...
I actually think it looks pretty cool...
And I'm sure he'll find something to put in it... PS...Henry, all on his own put on his Bond Top today! YAY, so far I am doing much better than last KCW with clothes that Henry will wear!
PPS...my guest room/office/sewing room still looks like this! ACK!
