When packing for our trip to WA, I had to dig out long pants out of storage since we've been wearing nothing but shorts for a while now. Still, it hadn't been THAT long, so I didn't even think that Henry might have grown out of them. Well, apparently he's had a growth spurt and all of his pants were "high waters" in WA. Oops.
So, I pull out my "Nowhere Man" pants pattern from Shwin & Shwin and made Henry some new church pants (the only time that we need to wear long pants). They took a few hours to make (I think I could shave off a significant amount of time next time) but I think they turned out so cute. And they actually fit! I'd done everything but hemmed them before trying them on Henry, thank goodness it worked out. I love the details of the tabs, buttons and contrasting pocket fabric.
If I didn't already have a couple of half finished projects in the works, I'd make another pair... with the brown corduroy I've got in my stash or the houndstooth suiting fabric...
