hemp cord patchy side panel pants-a-thon

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:


Pair for sale (#1):


Pair for sale (#2):

SG:
Sam's pair: 8pts hemp cord, 1pt elastic, 1pt dye, 1pt size tag, 1pt ribbon tag, 2pts batik scraps, 32pts cord scraps=46pts
FS#1: 8pts hemp cord, 1pt elastic, 1pt dye, 1pt ribbon tag, 2pts batik scraps, 23pts cord scraps=36pts
FS#2: 8pts hemp cord, 1pt elastic, 1pt dye, 1pt ribbon tag, 2pts batik scraps, 24pts cord scraps=37pts
total=119

Heya Cheryl!

They won't fit him. 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.

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!

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!
