Particularly exciting was this one I found for children's shorts. Summer is just gearing up here in Texas and I find myself waging a war against my little being too hot or too exposed to the sun. we use sun block but it just doesn't seem to cut it for my fair skinned lass so I was pretty jazzed to find this pattern.
I made a size bigger than what she normally wears because we cloth diaper but it turned out to be great because they cover more leg, turning into a wide legged capri, blocking more sun and covering her knees for when she stumbles. I have made six pairs in the last two days, they are quick to whip up and my peanut loves them!
here is where to find the pattern (and many more addicting ones to boot)
these are a couple of my examples
This was the first pair I made that made me fall in love, she did too! she didn't want to take them off, even after they get all muddy!
There are so many great ways to make these unique, fun fabrics, applique, ribbon embellishment, embroidery, they list goes on (and i am certainly do my best to make it through each one...)
As soon as they come out of the wash I will be taking pictures of the other three pairs, there each have something special!
if you make a pair of your own, send it in the comments, I would love to see everyone else's creativity at work!
