So with the kids back to school, I feel like I am able to get back into my sewing hobby. I decided to drop by the thrift store to see if they had any hidden treasures. I came across two nautica linen pillowcases. Score, for 50 cents each, I thought I was pretty thrifty. I am amazed at what a simple pillowcase can be transformed into. It's just the right amount of fabric to make a simple skirt, shorts, or pants.
About 2 hours of work later, I had these, my first pair of pants for my little guy. I am pretty proud of them, although, they come off very casual, almost lounge wear looking. But, with the right shirt, I hope they are wearable as a semi-casual pant. I was able to use the opening of the pillow case to create a cuff-looking hem on the pants. Really handsome.

Elias is just happy to see anything made for him. And I love to see him in my creations. Of course, I need to give credit to MADE because I once again used her pattern for the long flat front pant.
