Okay, I know all this sewing is getting a little out of hand, BUT… my girls really needed some fleece pants for running around the house! Actually, they have more clothes than you can shake a stick at, but there was just this one item they didn’t have, and their wardrobe just wasn’t complete without it!
Of course I had to make my own pattern for them since I didn’t care to waste the gas driving to Field’s Fabrics to get one. Besides, I knew I wouldn’t be happy with any of the designs I found anyway. I have been wanting to try a ruffle on the bottom for a while, and fleece is just the fabric to work with… it is very forgiving! Just my style!
I kinda made a pattern by tracing a pair of their sweatpants that I really liked the fit. I then transfered the pattern to the fleece and cut out four pieces. Sewed a little, added the ruffle on the bottom, sewed a little more, added the ribbon, sewed the waistband on, and added the elastic to keep them from falling off. They turned out a little long for the girls, but I think they’ll fit through next winter as a size 2T-3T. Perfect!
Oh... and the cute kids? They came from me! ♥
