WInter Pants Range

Ok, so after a few attempts at getting the pants looking super cute, I have decided on a look that I like and will make in a few sizes and also for both genders.

The pants will have cuffs and pockets and will be available in sizes 6 months to 4 years.

I will also make some size 6 months with the knee patches as I think it will protect soft little knees during the crawling stage.

Eva has been out and about with the knee patch version and has been getting lots of comments about how cute and original they are, so I'm pretty pleased that they stand out enough to be noticed.

Thanks for the comments and feedback on this project girls! Hard to get unbiased feedback from the kids!

Paddington Bear Pants revisited

Hello again, day two of the quest for the perfect winter pants design.

Here are two more versions of the pants using a lovely corduroy fabric, it's a deep purple and makes a strong contrast to the Paddington Bear fabric.


The second version I made with a strip down the side as well as patches on the front.

I like both versions, and Eva looks really good with the ones she is modelling for, but I think I prefer the stripes down the side.

I've got some white chenille coming in the post, so when that comes in, I'll make a version with that, and use a contrasting colour for the applique to make the patch stand out.

Still not finished, but a lot closer to being happy with the design.

Maybe the next one will be the pants with large cuffs using the PB fabric, rather than as a knee patch.

Paddington Bear pants

 

Here is the first attempt of the Paddington bear pants.

I'm not sold on them, but Eva loves them, and didn't want to take them off after the photo shoot!








Next I will make some with square patches on the knees and see how they look.

I wanted to make the patches more organic looking, but I don't think it works... what do you think?

Tomorrow, I'll post up the new version.....
