Coolest little dude on the block

October 18, 2010

I got some more sewing done for our little guy this weekend DESPITE having a head cold.  He now is the proud owner of two more pairs of pants, so hopefully he will be set for a little while.  A few weeks worth, I would wager.  He’s got a few pants that he is just moments away from growing out of.  Truth be told, he was a little annoyed that these were so long, but dangit I want him to be able to wear them all winter long!

So…more DRAGON PANTS.  These are appliques from a last bit of Eastern dragon and flames fabric I had on hand.  The pictures here are kind of sucky, but hopefully you can envision the coolness.

Modeling his coolness (again not the best picture…I was trying to take one quick before school)…

Then we have jolly roger pants in a wonderfully thick black corduroy that has some stretch to it.  It was a bit stretchy when I was sewing it up, so the seams aren’t perfect.  It has a great “hand” to it, though, and I imagine they will be very comfy and warm to wear.

Then here is the rest of the PTO carnival stuff for the basket.  I think I will need to remake the hat though.  I had Anya try it on and it is a bit tight on her.  If it doesn’t fit Anya, it probably won’t be able to fit most of the kids that may receive it.  Ah well, our church has a hats and mittens drive in a few weeks, so I can put it on that.

My oh-so-willing model of the hat…

I still have a baby blanket I need to finish up, and upon seeing the art purse the kids each want one now.  *shocker!*  Oh, I also knit the kids each a pair of armwarmers, too, but no pictures of those.  Maybe if they actually wear them after constantly begging me to make them…then MAYBE I’ll get pictures.  If that happens, that is.

  1. Wow – all this when you’re under the weather! You ARE superwoman! 🙂 Hey, I was wondering – you make your hats with the Knifty Knitter right?! I just got one and while I’m still working on figuring out exactly the right size to fit the various heads in our household, I was wondering how to get the two parts to the top instead of just one. I hope that makes sense!

    Thanks!

  2. Oh, the art purse turned out awesome. I love the little butterfly button and appliques. Those pants for Kai are awesome. Man, everyone time I see one of your hats it makes me want to get some looms. I keep resisting though.

  3. Yeah, I’m a bit jealous that you are able to create so much while sick! Maybe that’s the key for me? Cough Cough… sew sew? 🙂

    Those pants look great!

  4. WHILE YOU HAVE A HEAD COLD….this is the part I cannot get past. Nevermind the cool stuff you accomplished! You are crazy, girl. And Kai is indeed the coolest kid on the block!

    And I adore those hats. I need to learn how to do those.
