Monogrammed Jeans

Over the years I have made lots of monogrammed pocket jeans as gifts.

Now I have the pleasure of sewing for our grandchildren!

Regarding the notes in my photos...

I add notes for myself with the hope 

that the next time I sew with the pattern I might be more efficient...

we'll see how that idea works out.

I found a new way to display images side by side in blogger.

A great big thank you to Sharon Brennan for sharing her tutorial  on 

Inserting Images into Blogger Side by Side.

Update, June 4, 2018...I noticed the images were elongated when views on mobile device.
I reset image size to small. By clicking on image you can see a larger version.

Thanks for visiting.

Kid's Sweatpants

I made sweatpants for my 18 month old grandson, Gavin.

The last pair I made for him were too long, so I measured the pants he was wearing.

These were the measurements:

inseam  12-1/4 inches

outseam  17-3/4 inches

For these pants I used Angel Hickman Peterson’s Fleece Fun Easy Pants Pattern

 I used size 24 months, except that I cut them shorter, at the 18 month line.
Waist elastic-18" long by 3/4" wide.
Bottom leg elastic-7-3/4" long by 1/2" wide.
I straight stitched the casings for the waistline-1-1/2 inches turned over
and leg bottom-1 inch turned over.
