Yesterday I finally got my ass in gear to sew again! I told Ingrid right before I ended up in the hospital that I would make her a pair of new cozy pants. And since I've been home she keeps asking me when I'm going to make them...So I did yesterday and then what do you know, they are enormous and won't fit for another year. Oops.
Otis' fit him, though. Do you know how hard it is to make newborn pants?? Their inseam is like three inches! I cut these out based on a pair of pants I'd make my Cabbage Patch doll that Ingrid plays with. No joke, my kid wears doll clothes...
We got a package in the mail from my brother and his family yesterday. Guess what was in it for Ingrid?! She gasped "ooh, a tooth fairy dress!" There are wings as well but I have to come up with something to keep them on, they kept falling off.
Ingrid threw the world's biggest tantrum last night, it was amazing. Brendan was trying to get her pjs on and she kept kicking him. We told her no books before bed if she kept doing it. She kept kicking, we said no books, and she lost it. LOST IT! Screaming, crying, stomping her feet, hitting the walls, you name it, she did it to show how pissed she was. It's really the first tantrum we've had, usually she lets it go pretty easily. But last night she kept carrying on for over an hour! I put her in bed, she jumped up screaming about books. She finally calmed down for awhile and then twenty minutes later she'd start crying about books again. One am and she wakes up crying for books. I hope that lesson will stick with her! It was not a pleasant thing to go through, and I totally see why parents cave in and just give the kid what they want...

Big Butt Pants!
Oh holy cuteness! My friend Brandy got me this pattern so I could make her daughter some pants that fit over her cloth diapers. Why didn't I ever think of this??? The pants I made Ingrid always always were too tight in the butt, I could've used this pattern for her for sure! Good thing I have it now for Otis.
Anyway, I tried a basic pair today to see how the pattern worked. It's pretty straightforward except it takes some getting used to when sewing the curved part of the butt panel. It just doesn't look like it's going to match up and then viola! It does! Amazing how patterns work, eh?
Here's the front:
And here's the butt. Love that panel!
Now to add some pockets, a coordinating fabric cuff, rick rack. The possibilities are endless and I'm so looking forward to making more! And Miss Brandy is a super fine photographer in the Charlotte NC area so hopefully she'll take some sweet pics of her chunky monkey and let me use them when I sell the pants. Hint, hint, Brandy.
