Last Saturday I started a second Kids clothes week challenge: the Pufferfish linnen trousers from Ottobre 3/2012.
There are 2 versions for this pattern: a short one and a long one. I chose the long one.
The sewing instructions mention 3 parts, but on the pattern sheet I found a 4th part: a pocket. Now, my hubby has a pair of cargo trousers in the same linnen and he’s a fan of its pockets. And my boy is kind of a lot like his daddy, so I decided to add the pocket as well. I’ll probably regret it as it fills up with grass, mud and dead bugs (basically a (nearly) one-year old’s daily diet), but I’m not going to think about that just yet.
Finding the right buttons was a tough decision. I really liked the OTT gold buttons that I found among my other buttons. Very 80s, don’t you think?
But my hubby thought it was too much. And since I could imagine how they’d be torn off eventually and most likely disappear in a mouth, I went for these red ones. Unfortunately, I only had 3, while the pattern asks for 4. But hey, 2 buttons works just as well.
I still have to wait to complete the real fitting session. My boy went for a sleepover to granma and grandad. Which means we’ll be hitting the town later this evening. It’s only Gentse Feesten 10 days per year, people!
