Mint chocolate chip


I'm so pleased with these little pants, which match the sweater Grandma made. Note to self, however: stop buying printed fabric in half-yard increments. When she grows into the next size I won't have enough length.

Fully lined with muslin. Next time I'll line them with the contrast fabric that I used as the binding at the hem and as the waistband. That way the legs can be rolled, since they're a little too long for her at present. I plan to make more of these little pants. In fact, maybe I'll draft some other sizes as well and sell them? We'll see. I have a few other children's items I'm planning, so this may be a nice addition to the bunch.

    Nice duds, and such a great match with the cardigan! I meant to comment yesterday too - what a wonderful pic of your girl, and happy birthday to her :-) And I can tell you after 3 and a half years, I still can't get the material stash in synch with my daughter's size! There's either a half meter too much or 10cm too little. Grrr. Guess that's just the way it is.
