more pants and a sweater!

Because apparently my child does not have enough clothes (and also because I keep finding new patterns!) I have made some more pants for Ellie! Also, I joined a sew-along group, where one person posts 2-3 projects per week, and everyone does them, and we can discuss/ troubleshoot/ critique, etc. It is fun, and has given me some new ideas. Including some not so amazing coasters, which could be improved upon, but were usable and a good idea.
So, the first pair are actually not Ellie's -they were way too big, so I made her a second pair, and sent these to a friend who has a little girl who can actually wear them! These are fleece pants, the fleece is from the remenant bin at Joann's- I almost never buy yardage of fleece. So, Two pairs cost me maybe $2.50 to make. Nice.

This second pair is recycled from a sweater that I got for $4 at the thrift shop. Because it is 100% wool, these can be used as a diaper cover, as well. These have an elastic waist, and work better as tights than real pants. I need to get an action shot, as I think that they will look really cute on.

I made both of these pants using Katrina's Quick Sew pattern. Her soaker pattern is really good, too, and they are free!

And, lastly, not pants, but a sweater that I made. This is my first sweater, and I used acrylic yarn, so it isn't too heavy (also was cheap, in case of needing to scrap the project, which, thankfully, I did not have to do!)

It just needs a button and it is done!
