Day 2 of the Kid's Clothes Challenge and we are off to a super great start! First, my houndstooth cardigan from yesterday was featured on Elsie Marley's blog today! Go check it out! Marvel at how it looks just like it did on my blog, but famouser! And then look at the rest of the amazing and wonderful things that Elsie Marley does!

Today, we did pants. Pants are a comfy, happy place in my sewing land- sometimes irritating, but rarely mystifying. Just right for day 2 of 7. This first pair are Big Butt Baby Pants from Made By Rae, a pattern I whole-heartedly recommend. I made 5 a pair of these, in this same fabric, in this same size, for Christmas, or his birthday, or something. Which leads me to why this pair was made. Originally, I cut out two right legs. Hmmph.
Luckily they're the cutest thing with two legs and they're still! huge on him, so I happily made him another pair today, un-flannel-lined, and with a butt-accentuating contrasting panel.
The main fabric is Echino cotton/linen blend and the butt panel is something out of print from my scrap stash.

This is the only repurposed pair of the day - GASP! It's true, almost all of my sewing is with repurposed materials, but I also have a slight fabric obsession so I've been trying to use some of my favorites that I've been (ahem) hoarding....
Made from one of his Dada's old concert Tshirts, normal baby 5 is transformed into hip, too-cool-for-school, Beck-loving 5! Kind of.
These are made from a pattern I made myself.

Finally, the fancy pants. I've been dreaming of making these pants since I bought this fabric. The fabric came from India and is a cotton silk blend. Aren't the selvedges gorgeous? I used Rae's BBBPants pattern for these as well, but I only had a half yard of fabric, so I had to modify it a little. They fit perfectly right now, but they're probably going to be fancy shorts by Summer's end.

Tomorrow- Shorts!

I think everyone in the world should wear Big Butt Baby Pants. On a skirt I think it used to be called a bustle. teehee
