D's Bug Pants

these were version 2 of my homemade pants... Since D is older and taller, I have been enlarging the pattern over the past 2 years, but this round I added cargo pockets on the side. This way the pants are still reversible, front to back, but D can store important trains/cars/I-don't-want-to-know-things in his pockets...
This time around he chose Bugs, shown here; Crabs (see above); and Ladybugs. I also made him some solid-print linen pants in natural linen, navy, and light blue... DH says he needs some pants that don't look like pajamas... Why is it that fun kids-pants are only allowed to be worn to bed?

Cute toddler sailor pants!

I make D a LOT of pants, but here's the latest variant..
I altered my pants pattern to have a front and a back (most of my pants are the same front/back to make it easy for my two-year-old to put on his own pants... he's almost 3 now, so I decided he could handle the challenge of finding the front...), and he LOVES pockets now, so I had to add pockets.
I love all things vintage, but don't want him to look like he's in a silly costume... I also really like a lot of Oliver +S's patterns, but I always want to tweak them, so rather than buy and modify, I came up with this one ALL BY MYSELF!
I'm super proud of that, 'cause it's my first ALL BY MYSELF pattern-to-garment ever.
(my mom helped me make my wedding dress, and all previous solo-tweaking was based on store-bought patterns).
I'll post pics of my little dude in these as soon as I can get them on him in the morning!

my frowny pumpkin!

i bought the pattern and started making this hat about a week before halloween last year, but i didn't finish it in time. So, being me, i put it in a box on a shelf, and promptly ignored it until last night. it only took about an hour to actually finish it, but i had to make up the directions... it actually fits my son (he has a massive head, so i wasn't sure if it would!), and he's striking his best model scowl pose to show how cute he is as mama's pumpkin...
