pants, pants, pants

Actual sewing content!

I've been busy working on the boys' kwikies and fast pants. I finally finished a second pair of grey kwikies so the boys can match. They went real fast this time. I think I'm getting the hang of this! And as the weather is getting warmer and the sun stronger, I figured another two more pairs of white fast pants were in order. They're just the thing for running around on the playground on a hot day, or eating ice cream on the 4th. Loose and fun, light and, most important, easy to wash!

Next, I fixed the fast shorts that I needed to make. Someone had sent us one pair of shorts for the boys (why?!), so I decided that I should sacrifice one more old t-shirt so that they could have an even number of shorts. I think they ended up so cute and B seems to like them too.

And the most exciting of all, remember this fun banana shirt that I wanted to salvage the material from? I removed the sleeves, leaving me with a rather odd muscle shirt and enough fabric for the first pair of banana pants. I've still got the waistband and hems to do on these, but they're going to be great!

Alison, you are sewing a lot!! I love the banana pants. How about a 'new' banana sleeveless shirt for yourself? I suppose you will need to make another pair of pants. But, you look great in it.

I *love* those banana pants (that must have been some shirt!) and all the cute things you're making for your boys. Yet another reason to get that Singer Featherweight I've been wanting for years!

You are looking so stylish in your banana muscle shirt. It will be a sought after commodity soon. People will be....well....going bananas over it! :)
