who wears the pants in this family?

at last, i've sewn an actual garment (unless bibs count as garments)! amanda soule's book -- the creative family -- in hand, as well as a t-shirt i'll never wear, i followed the instructions for making kid trousers from old shirts.

tristan was sleeping.



tashi was reading.




and i was sewing. in no time, i made these!



when tristan woke up, despite the terribly clashy onesie, we tried them on right away (after nursing and pooping of course). it's a nearly perfect fit, with some room to grow. and i think he approves!



i can't wait to sew up a whole stack of them! it will bring a new light to shirt shopping at thrift stores. . .
