DIY Pants for Kids

Henry’s been having a big problem with his pants lately, either that they are too tight around the waist or too loose. We’ve tried elastic pants and zipper pants, as well as a belt, and our strategies just don’t seem to be working. I finally gave in and decided that I want to sew five pairs of pants for Henry to wear to school. 

Our school has a uniform. It’s very liberal–the youngest children choose from three different color polo shirts or a school t-shirt, and navy or khaki for bottoms. I decided to go with navy blue corduroy for his winter pants. I ordered five yards of this fabric.

I’m going to use my favorite pattern of all time (pictured above). I used it to sew seersucker pants for Henry a year and a half ago.

I’ll let you know how it goes!
