When I made Alex's sleep pants Heather called and said they were huge. Then she said she washed the material and the fit perfect.
So I proceeded to make him a pair of pants from some blue twill I bought the week before. I made patch pockets to put on the outside of the lower leg. I made an elastic waist. I messed up and cut the pants too short so I made them different, added some material to the bottom like some of his store bought pants.
He tried them on. THEY WERE HUGE!!!!
ROFLMAO!! I forgot we washed the material first this time! So the pants are in the box for NEXT year!
I bought enough to make about 4 pair for him and a couple for Danny so no shortage of material. Next time I will take each section in 1/2" and shorten the waist 2" and hem them up another 1". I still want to make the legs like I did those by accident! And I think I will make the pocket bigger. I used the measurements from one of Danny's pairs so they really could be bigger for Alex.
Live and learn. Ok..sew and make mistakes! Will happen all my life...at least this one wasn't a failure! Just a start on NEXT winter's clothes lol....
I really liked how they turned out though!!
