Sew & Show - Pants for Luke

Every 6 months, we have a flurry of trips to the dentist.  Our dental office is great, and they will book the kids in 2s or 3s, but it's still a few trips before we get everybody in.  This was kind of tedious, until Hobby Lobby opened up almost next door.  The fabrics pictured above are treasures I found while Brianna, Jack, and Hannah were getting their teeth cleaned.  

I wanted to share the virtues of batch sewing, so I folded them all in-facing and stacked them up to cut.  

My rotary cutter needs a new blade, so it was more like I perforated the outline and then went back and cut them with the good scissors.  

A tantalizing array of prints

All cut out

Serging them all up in a chain

First pair done!

Lukey isn't crazy about being a model.

But I get a couple of okay shots.

Plus lots of this

And a bit of this.  

As you can see, Luke is delighted with the second pair, as well.  

I like the geometric print on the inside.  It reminds me of honeycomb.  

And the bee print totally reminds me of Burt's Bees.  

Pair 3 is woodland animals on one side, and flaming orange brightness on the other.  

I think he needs a brown long sleeved shirt to tone the ensemble down a little.

Josiah's fashion statement has to do with the 20* difference between his corner bedroom downstairs, and the bedrooms upstairs.  

And the final pair.  "Luke!  Hey, Luke!"

"Over here!"

There we go.

So much for "batch sewing."  It took me almost 3 weeks to make these four pairs of pants.  I used to be so much faster.  

Thanks for clicking for us!
