Last year I sewed a couple pairs of pants from Anna Maria Horner's book Handmade Beginnings
. I finally had a chance to put them on baby!
Baby is wearing 6-12 month clothing right now. These pants are size 6-9 months. Yes, these pants are baggy and long. I love the length. Perfect for rolling the cuff. I'd make the elastic smaller in the waistband next time. I followed the guidelines but didn't have a baby model.
When my husband saw him in the pants he said, "Those are some funky pants little man. I bet your mom made those." Um, yes I did.
Like I said in my original post, these fit my daughter when she was wearing 18-24 month clothes. I was curious, so I put them on her again. She now wears size 2T and is 34.5" tall (for your reference).
As you can see, these pants are big. This size isn't long enough for a 2 year old, but if they are rolled up they are so adorable.
Now I'm thinking I need to make a bunch of these for Spring!! Clothes that fit my 2 year old and my 4 month old? And they're reversible? A laundry miracle?
Overall pattern rating?
(I'd give it a 5 star rating if the sizing was better)
