These are size 146; seems like only yesterday I made this boy my first Ottobre pattern ever, and it was a 104 or 110. Anyhow, these are the pants #34 from 1/2008, only I made them into shorts. I’m not crazy about the waist treatment on these. if I use this pattern again I would probably alter to make the waistband narrower and use drawstring elastic (instead of a drawstring plus clear 1/4″ elastic basted to the inside near the fold). These are navy french terry from fabric.com with orange interlock (waistband plus pocket lining) from a SewBaby grab bag; I added orange topstitching with white bartacks, just for fun.
Twirly girl just brought in the mail and the newest Ottobre has reached my little corner of the world!! Decisions, decisions. . .do I rip open the white envelope for a quick perusal, or wait til I have time to savor it with a cup of something yummy????
