The details on some of Galen’s birthday gifts….
First up some pants. Somehow, all of the sudden none of his pants seem to fit, it’s amazing how that seems to happen overnight sometimes! The few pairs that did still fit were uncomfortable or in poor shape. He prefers comfy “mommy pants”, meaning mama-made, though he does sometimes call them maternity pants on account of the stretchy waist bands. This first pair is our favorite. They are reversible pants made out of two layers of flannel.
And the other side:
Pair #2:
Brown corduroy that reverses to flannel…
And #3:
A pair of single layer twill pants, made with spring in mind.
Iain and Elijah carved him a ukelele holder…
And of course there was a birthday sweater…
Remember his need for a very particular birthday sweater this year? I made the largest size, added 4 extra increases and several inches to both the sleeves and the body. Fingers crossed that this one should last him a while!
And now everyone has one.
I love the pants. Their sweaters are beautiful!
Everything looks so great. And I’m going to have to learn how to make some ‘mommy pants’ very soon – my kiddo keeps shooting up out of everything, and it’s making the discount fabric pile at joann’s look very appealing.
All three pairs of those pants cost around $6 total. Some of the fabric I had left over from other projects and a bit of it was on the clearance rack for $2 a yard. It’s hard to beat that!
Oh my ! These jumpers are gorgeous. I tried three times to start it. Every time I failed and I don’t understand where I get confused !!!!!
