Pants for the kiddos

I guess I'm on a sewing spree. Since I got the Hancock fabric from Joanna, and since it's (finally) getting cooler, I sewed up some pants for the kids. Camille is okay on pants for now. Owen will probably need more, especially if he continues in his an-accident-a-day routine.

I used a pattern I bought also from Peekaboo pattern shop. I love these pants. I envision many more pairs of these pants, especially for Owen. They are more boy orientated, but they are cute on Camille too. The elastic cuff is optional, but I think it makes the pants awesome.

Owen's has the reinforced knee.

Camille's has the welt pockets on the bum

Super cute.

Suit

I got this value fabric from Walmart a year or two ago and I've been waiting around until Owen needed a suit. I finally got it done, and I actually made the suit coat instead of opting for the much easier vest. I meant to take a picture of him in the ensemble before we went to church, but I forgot, so Brian took this picture while we were waiting for church to start.

I think it's adorable, although the fabric is pretty bulky and doesn't drape (it's stretchy suiting).  The one problem is that I put the chest pocket on the wrong side of the jacket. Oh well. I think it's still good enough to enter into the fair next year. I also lined it with some hot pepper fabric I've had since I started sewing. It was the only dark choice of fabric I was willing to give up.

We got some better pictures:

Owen broke his glasses...
