I had intended on getting this post up while Celebrate the Boy was still happening, but it didn't happen. So, better late than never. I made some really cute pants for my son using this tutorial/pattern from Dana at Made, and some old pairs of adult pants. The pants above and below I made using some old cargo pants of my husbands. I used the existing side stitching and took off one of the back pockets and sewed it on the leg.
So cute! And even better in action, backpack and all.I made this pair from some women's capri pants I picked up at Goodwill. For these I used the existing pockets in the front.
They ended up a bit long, but I'm sure he'll grow into them. 
love these! i should do the same for my boy. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice--I really like the second pair. Right now my son won't wear any type of pants but jeans, but I'm bookmarking the tutorial anyway! I love upcycling and am in the process of making my son a supply of shorts for summer using thrifted men's dress shirts.
ReplyDeletetotally cute!...or should I say "cool". Love them both!
