Scrappalicious!

My goal was to decimate my cord scrap basket, and I did make a dent...but not as big a dent as I would have liked. Anyway, 1 pair is for Sam and the other 2 pairs are heading for the market board. The body of the pants is wide wale hemp/cotton cord that I tea-dyed. The inside of the side panels is backed in coordinating batik cotton scraps so there aren't a billion serged seams against the skin. Here are his that I made him last year that now no longer fit:

Sam's new pants, with sides folded inward so you can see the panels better:

Yeah we've been here for almost 3 months now, believe it or not. And every day just keeps getting better ;)

Ok Tara.. what sizes and how much.. it would save me having to make James some! :joker:

Heya Cheryl!

They won't fit him. :wah: I made Sam's pair to fit him, but the two extra that I made are XS (4/5). And I used up all the big pieces of my hemp cord. :( Let me look around here and see what else I can use...I'm sorry these are too small.

I did post them FS on the market board, though - $25 priority postage paid.

:thumbsup:

Great job!

Hope

Hey Tara...
Now you know I'm LOVING those pants!
Must get busy making some for the boys! *wink*
Nice job...

Those are AWESOME! I need new serger blades or I'd be making some of those tonight lol!

Those are lovely Tara. I think you've got a trademark item now ;) You make such great boy stuff.

No biggie!!! Guess I should really get on the ball and use up this huge stash of cord I have and make some myself! *lol*

Gosh. I'm so happy they're too big for milo. I don't really have $25 to be spending now, but I doubt I could of resisted. Those are very sweet!

Those are so cool!

Those are cool.

Great idea for cord scraps, Tara! I will have to think about whether I want to take the time to create patchy-cord-panels for later projects... or whether I should just send all my cord scraps to you! :)

Your kind words have really made me smile this morning! Thanks. :)
