Those pants I mentioned A needed a while back did get made shortly after the dress and tunic. High five self! I used the kids pants tutorial by Dana from MADE and followed her excellent instructions to make them with a flat front, lining, and pockets. The pattern is one size but thankfully they just happen to fit A perfectly right now, and the blue ones in particular have almost become her preschool uniform.

The pants on the left were made with navy corduroy and lined with the softest jersey. I don’t sew with solids as often as I would like so I loved making these, and now love having them as part of A’s wardrobe. I modified the pattern to make the floral pants slimmer. This fabric is a stretch twill and is a little nuts but I’m nuts about it so I could not resist buying it. When I first showed these to A she loved them and wore them happily for months. A few days ago I pulled them out for her to wear and she said “no, they are scary!” and refused to put them on. Does she see something in the print that frightens her? Or are they scary purely from a fashion point of view? I’m guessing the latter.

And so we enter the Age of Honesty.
