The Little boy is a different story. He is finally getting the whole I have to actually pee in the potty. (We won't talk about the other part.) I've noticed though that for a such a thin bit, his shorts are rather tight and need to be re-buttoned and zipped up when he goes. We have a small stash of elastic but they are weekend shorts. Yes, I'm that parent that doesn't like to send their kids to school in athletic wear.
So long story short, he needed shorts. I was looking for something super simple and pull up but wasn't finding anything already traced out in my stash. I did find 2 tracings in size 98 of the Aqua Shorts #7 from Ottobre 3/08. I obviously made them for my oldest once upon a time.
Yep, I made him these awesome soft corduroy pants. In fact they are sitting in my youngest bottom drawer waiting for fall. Hopefully they'll fit.
Well despite the fact they aren't exactly "whip it up" quick, I decided to go for it. I'm so glad they are awesome! The only change I made was to take out 2 inches in the denim and khaki pair. I felt they were too long for my taste. The striped pair is board short material I picked up from Chez Ami ages ago when they were still selling fabric. It was so much brighter than I had anticipated and has been languishing in my stash for a while. Funny thing is I cut those out last summer and started putting them together- so they have one front pocket that was already done. I decided to omit the rest of the pockets to make them faster.
