I first started with an old pair of Trousers I had laying around
I picked out a pair of our little guys pants that have a nice fit.
I turned them WRONG side out and traced and cut 4 pieces total
Hem the Bottom of Pants.
You can run the Elastic all the way through the waistband or only through the back
If you are going to run it only through the back. Be sure to leave openings on both SIDE seams. Secure your elastic to one SIDE seam then stretch it to the other SIDE seem. Secure in place and Stitch opening closed. Then finish with TOP stitching your waistband.
Mark and Make…
I made my straps LONGER allowing room for GROWTH.
Sew On…
And…
Go to Town!!!
I LOVE the Vintage feel and look that these have.
They are so VERY easy to make, yet you get such a CLASSIC look.
I feel pretty safe in saying, that he likes them to.
I LOVE sewing for little….
As well as…
With them.

Aww, that is so precious! He is so cute in those little pants and the hat tops it off perfectly!!
Thank you Michelle. That hat is actually my FAVORITE on him
Darling, darling, darling!!! That goes for the pants and the sweet little fellow in them, and also the matching mommie! I’ve been busy making dresses this week, and trying to figure out something I might be able to pull off for the boys. I’ve only ever tried one time making something from an existing ready made piece as a pattern. I may have to give this a go when I get back home.

Oh so darling and sweet. I just love your photos and I love that you are here again!~
Absolutely adorable! That’s what I think of the model. The little rompers are just as cute as he is, though. I have only shopped and sewn for little girls. I hope to have at least one grandson to romper up one day.

Katie recently posted..Minted’s New Inspiration Boards
Love these! I’m gearing up for fall sewing and I think I’m going to have to add these to my list. Do we think I can get away with these on a 3 yr. old? Is my little guy too big! Eeek! Although these would look cute on my little girl too. Found you via positively splendid so glad i did.

I love these pants!!! I’m currently doing a self challenge to create my twin boys’ fall-winter wardrobe through upcycling! I’m inviting people to share their inspiration as well as what they have created for their kids through the flicker group, but even if you don’t want to participate in that, I’d love for you to stop by and see what I am doing. ~ Suzanne

I swear I just want to pinch him. He is the cutest thing ever in those pants and I love the way you have someone model in matching clothes for these shots. Looks like a catalog spread. Thanks for sharing this cuteness at Wow.

Oh, my goodness! This post put a smile on my face! I love it!
We do not have enough “boy” posts… I am just as guilty of not doing so. I LOVE AND ADORE my little men! But, I am always busy with ruffle and bloomers and skirts posts… hmmmm something has to change.
The technique you used is what I used to do when I just started sewing. Now I have tons and tons of patterns…. I should have just done it the same way as what you did in this post for my little boy.
Because… the pants will always fit right!
I am going to go back to old school! Thank you for waking me up!
Hugs,
Sandy
