A couple of weeks ago I went to visit Sally and her brand new little bub. The night before, I chastised myself for not yet having made a present for little baby A. So I got online and looked for a simple pattern that I could hopefully make without staying up past midnight or getting overly frustrated with my continued inability to sew things and have them turn out how they should. I came across Brindle and Twig on etsy and found this nice easy two piece pattern Sarouel baby pants. Two pieces. Now that's my kind of pattern. Even better, it can be made with knit or woven fabric. Also, the pattern includes sizes from 0-3 months right up to 2-3 years. Very handy.
I got sewing and managed to get them made in a few hours. Well before midnight even. The only fiddly bits were the leg hems and that was only because they were small.
I used a Robert Kaufman fabric from my stash that I think I've had for perhaps 3 or 4 years. I have a big stash for a not very confident sewer because I always like the idea of sewing things but when it gets to it I have the above mentioned problem of it not turning out right so I buy the fabric and then baulk at the sewing. So it was very nice to find something suitable already in my house.
I was really happy with how well they turned out. They looked like I imagined. Wonders will never cease. Perhaps I should stick to two piece patterns from now on?
Sally very kindly took some photos of A in his pants and emailed them to me so I could blog them. Doesn't he look so cute!

There is nothing like whipping up something from what you have on hand yay! Those pants are so super comfy for babies, I'm sure they'll get a work out.
That is one gorgeous baby for sure... it is the pants that really really set off his overwhelmingly handsome features ;)
Thank you again!!! They've become a favourite.
What a great pattern, and you did such a good job. Baby boy is a good model too and they fit very well.
Do you have a 'label'??? You need to use a silver ribbon or something, I always have my two paws on lime green biased binding- very sophisticated I know!!!
