the blue blog archives: we're big pants people

Do you remember that line from Kevin Meaney? I love that line. Say it all the time for no reason. Too funny.

So some new baby bell bottoms are underway for her in cherry red Knit Picks Shine Sport from my stash. She needed some red pants and I couldn't really find any in this kind of style (my gal is just not a leggings sort of gal). When I come to think of it, I wrote the bell bottoms pattern last year because I didn't see any pants in the stores exactly like the ones I wanted for her. So here we are again. I guess we're just bell bottom pants people.

And they may become pedal pusher/gauchos and then shorts before the end of their time!

Those are going to be adorable! I love the colour. I think Nancy J is right, that they will be useful for a long time! Crop pants are still in aren't they!? :)

Wow. I thought I was the only one who used "we're big pants people!" in my vernacular. Awesome! (That's not right!)

Those are so cute! If you're looking for a top-down pattern for bellbottom pants for a toddler girl, pants you can lengthen anytime you need to, there's one in the new spring Knitty. I saw it last night, while checking out the new patterns.

I am the exact the same way.... no leggings for my baby! (Which is why I loved this pattern, thank you, thank you, thank you. :) BTW, I have found some really cute 'bell' shaped baby pants from American Apparel. The Infant Baby Rib
Karate Pant comes in lots of cute colors and is a really nice, comfy cotton.

Ooooooh, thanks for the tip, Ann! We big/bell bottom pants people must stick together! :D

Very cute! Have you considered sewing pants? They are a whole lot easier than those cute jumpers you've made for the Wee One. Burda has a cute pants patten with a ruffle on the hem. Haven't tried it yet, but am considering making some for my little ones.
