More pants. You know how I do.

I remade the pleat bottom pants by Heidi and Finn, and I’ve come to the conclusion that the waistband on the pants is fine. Great, even. If you don’t try to add those silly ass pockets.

So I drafted up some on-seam pockets and it makes a world of difference.  You can’t even see them unless you stick your hand in there, or pull open the pocket on the side.

I lengthened these 2 inches for Phoebe, and they *just* fit her lengthwise.  The pattern goes up to 5T, so I knew they’d at least fit her in the waist.

 I’ll definitely make another pair, same pockets, and lengthen them a little more to give her room to grow.  And another pair for Charlie, with the new pockets as well, since it just looks so much better.

I also found this pattern from Dans la Lune on Etsy, and I had to make these. Just adorable. Comfy knit pants, with that big gusset I love so much for cloth diapers.  I ordered the 12-24 months size, and it fits perfectly — the legs are a smidge long, so they’ll fit her for a little while.

I used the rest of this horsey knit to make another cowl-neck dress for Charlie, which she wore immediately and got marker all over. Totally my fault — when I see anything light-colored I should know better than to make it for her. She’s a little stain-magnet.
