These are some pants I made for Arch... I was a bit tired on the day, and originally stitched the cuffs to the waist, oops. I have to admit to being a huge fan of Project Runway Australia at this point, and to quote one of the contestants, Leigh, "everyone was put on this planet for a reason, it just turns out mine was to unpick!" That's how I'm feeling after these pants.
After some unpicking, lots of cussing, and Mick telling me to either chuck it in or power through, these are the finished product. I actually quite adore them, none more so than when Archie is wearing them and looking so, so cute. The denim stripe was a freebie fabric from my MIL, and I've got heaps of it! And the trim is the from the fab Michael Miller Dick & Jane series. Think I will make a few more pairs with different trims, and some lightweight ones for Summer. I am such a fan of elasticised waists for wriggling, squirming, hating to sit still and get dressed kiddies.
Apologies for the poor pics, Archie is not much of a model, he much prefers to get himself dirty in the sand. Also, am having trouble getting the pictures to align, go figure.

I too am the great unpicker - nothing worse than sewing when you're tired! Guaranteed to create unpicking. I too love Project Runway and I'm so glad that Petrova got back in - I want her to win!
I love the pants for Arch - they look fabulous and he is such a heart breaker!
Well done!
