My one-year-old had worn out his pants from crawling around on the floor and was in need of a new pair. I thought I'd give it a try, even though I haven't made a lot of clothes before. So I borrowed this old book from the library, with patterns for children's overalls, sweaters and more. (A Swedish book: Sy enkla barnkläder av Lisen Elmberg och Lena Lidbeck) Some of the models looked really outdated, but I thought these pants looked allright.
I managed to sew them together after some seam ripping and allthough they are a bit big and poofy, I think they turned out okay. And my son seems to like them :-)
The fabric is a piece of corduroy with some stretch in it and I used ribbing for the cuffs and waistband.
