    quick change trousers

    George's six month well child check is today, replete with shots. I figured nothing softens the blow of unexpected pain and the corresponding confusion like a new outfit, right?! So, last night, I tried another pattern from Anna Maria Horner's book Handmade Beginnings. Like the other two projects I've made from this book, the quick change trousers turned out super cute and made up quickly. They're fully reversible which I could not love more and the back yoke detail is simple but adds a lot of interest to what would otherwise be really plain pants.
    (In the morning light George is so pale he looks like he's glowing. Wonder where he gets that.)
    They are undeniably hippy pants, but I love all the fabrics I used and I know I'll be sad when I have to pack them away for the next baby.

    Now we just need to hop the ferry to Orcas for a little hippy vacation.

    So cute! I'm on the waiting list for this book at my library because I want to make these pants. I should probably just buy the book!
