Don't You Love It .......

When a stuff up turns out well?


I was making up two pairs of Nature Walk pants for the Twins. The orange ones were great!


So I started the pink ones-and finished the pink ones-as Elsa wandered into my sewing room and queried if I needed her for an elastic measurement-bugger!




Although I was tempted to hide them in the back of a cupboard I bit the bullet and repaired them straight away!


Using my elastic as a guide I stitched a casing.


I unpicked a little piece of the inside seam.


Then I threaded the elastic through the opening.


I stitched the elastic together and then sewed up the opening.


Ta-dah!


A little something with a shoe lace....



Ta-dah!
Now for the modelling...
The Twins were in a bit of a silly mood.....


Hopscotch Tops and Nature Walk Pants.





















I gave up at this point.
I guess they like them!

    Love the pictures of the girls! They look like they were having a lot of fun with it! And I was channeling my inner Nicole this afternoon while taking pics of BK.;)

    Great photos Nicole! The pants are wonderful...what is the fabric? It's gorgeous. I have some pale orange sweat-shirting, I must make Maeve some.

    Thank you Sharon!
    Very rarely a dull moment.....and I wouldn't have it any other way!

    Thanks Susanne!

    We do have fun with our photo shoots Cindy,I particularly enjoy the ''one-on-one'' sessions with the Twins.
    I was channeling YOU when I was sewing cricket whites for Hugo last week. Need Them-Sew Them!
    Thank you!

    It is just ribbing Millie,I picked up some rolls of it on sale. It seems quite extravagant to sew into leggings but they keep their shape really well!
    These were the size 8,I will make the 10 next time!
    Thank you!
