This weekend was still a little cool. We did venture out on a few walks, had lunch in the neighborhood, played a little in the yard. I did get some time to get a few lingering projects finished as well. I had cut out three different sizes of my favorite baby pants, and they have been waiting patiently for me to set the sewing machine up. The pattern is called "Big Butt Baby Pants" and was designed and published by Rae Hoekstra. You can find her online here.

The pattern is really, really simple. Three pieces. Easy to download. Directions are written clearly and there are lots of photos accompanying each step. And the finished product is pretty cute and - more importantly - really, really functional. My favorite part about these little pants is the panel in the back that is reminiscent of a classic men's boxer short. It is ideal for a diapered bottom. I think I must have sewn no fewer than a dozen pairs of these pants in the last three years.

Here is what we worked on this weekend. The small fry was really pretty interested in the sewing, and the straight pins. She lost interest as soon as Scooby Doo came on television, but that worked out too. I was able to finish three of these little pants in a couple hours.

I made one pair for out littlest little. They are probably going to fit for another week, she is growing so fast. And two other pairs are going to be gifted and accompany a hand knit sweater each. Now all I have to do is finish up that blue striped cardigan… off to knit.
