Mumma made....


So often with markets and etsy and everything else on my plate, I forget to make time for some mumma made goodies for my own little monsters.

You can't really go wrong with baby pants though can you?  I mean they take 15 minutes or so to whip up and are cutie-patoot not to mention a fantastic way to use up some of the fabrics I've been saving for my 'just in case' baby girl.

I use a very basic one piece baby pants pattern so they're not only quick but kind of fun (I love sewing up the leg seams in a big U shape!).  I even whipped up little Xanadu a pair of denim pants the other day...denim with red polka-dot cuffs!

Then there's a bit of boy sewing.  Littlest boy is the biggest fan of mumma-made shorts ever so when I saw this amazing Japanese fabric that the very lovely Mel from Kimono Reincarnate was destashing I grabbed it without hesitation....and here's the results.....


I wish there were more hours in the day or more days in the week for more mumma-made sewing....it really is my favourite kind.

  2. Oh they're just grand. I love sewing the u-shape too. Sewing kids pants are the best. One of my favourite things to sew for sure.
