Thanks to everyone for your thoughts on my mini wardrobe plans. I think the solids (and the pinstripe - not a solid!) will be good and versatile, but if a cute print in a lavender/blue jumps at me, I may change my mind...
Logan's Easter ensemble is complete, so now I can get back to my selfish sewing. Hee-hee.
These are to go with his
Thomas the Train shirt that I made last week. They are the "Nopsa" pants from the 01/2009 issue of Ottobre. They use the same basic pant pieces that the
"Teku" pant that I made him for Valentine's Day, which was great since I knew they fit and I wouldn't have to trace them off again. The difference between the two is pocket style and placement, as well as a few belt and tool loops. There were also supposed to be knee pads on this version, but since these are church pants, I left them off.
Here is the back. I messed with the saturation so that you could see the pockets. The color is actually a dark navy. Aren't those nested back pockets cool?
Up close.
The other pocket is pretty sweet as well. The front pocket curves over the side seam and becomes the upper back pocket.
Next up is a Great White shirt for me, and I need to get to tracing and altering patterns for the Mini Wardrobe contest. I can't start cutting fabric until the 16th, but I can get my patterns ready!
