I took the advice of a blogging mama on line and used a favorite pair of baby pants to make a pattern. I laid out one pair of River’s stretchy comfy organic cotton pants and traced both the front and back leg panels onto printing paper. I had to tape several sheets of paper together. I gave extra room to account for growing room and seam allowances.
I’m part way through making them. I did this while the Challah was rising! I told you I’ve been busy. Here are some pictures.
Using canning books and cookbooks as weights to hold the fabric down!
I cut some of the panels out so that the corduroy runs in a funny direction, but hey…
I’m not the world’s best seamstress, but I’m a seamstress none the less. I’ll keep you posted as to how they turn out. They’re about half sewn right now.
Erin, this is uncanny! I’ve been trying out a bunch of baby pants patterns from different sewing blogs. Sooo easy. Also we have been switching to cloth so we needed some pants that would acommodate junk in the trunk!
I know. Cloth diaper butt babies need way bigger onesies and pants. I’ve noticed that most clothes are made to fit babies who wear disposable diapers.
