Sleeping bunny trousers

5 July 2010 in Trousers by piia | 2 comments

I found a pair of lovely green corduroy trousers in the flee market and re-made them to fit my son. I appliqued a sleeping bunny on the leg. (Surprise surprise! ;) The green stripes on the bunny fitted just perfectly with the colour  of the trousers. I was thinking about adding ribbing in the legs but ended up for elastic band, which can be removed later. The trousers are quite short and wide, so I think they’ll be good as shorts or capri pants when Onni grows a bit. Just what I like: clothes that can be worn longer than one season. And recycled as well! ;)

Bugpants times two

I have been busy making underpants for Onni these last few days and I am happy to say that the potty training is going great! He has been in the kindergarten without a diaper and there has been no extra laundry all week. I am thrilled! And he looks so cute with his retrobug pants that I just had to make more of those. These two bugpants are however for two little brothers for the hot summer days. They are made of Retrobug jersey and orange ribbing and are in sizes 74cm and 92cm. The pattern is the same one I made before after some old retropants.

I can’t wait to see those little boys in their bugpants. :D

Birthday set

3 July 2010 in Retrobug, Shirts, Trousers by piia | 3 comments

A little friend of ours turned four years this week, so I made him a birthday set of t-shirt and jeans. The shirt is made of dotted and stripy jerseys and has a letter K appliqued in front. (After his name) The jeans are recycled material with green rib in the waist and a car applique in front. Back pockets are a must, naturally, and the legs are turned showing green cotton lining underneath. They can be worn long as well by removing the bands attached to the buttons at sides. This set is nice and relaxed for a little boy and perfect for some  football or other games outside. Happy Birthday little mr K. :)

A Moped

2 July 2010 in Shirts by piia | 2 comments

Onni loves mopeds. And cars. And airplanes. And tractors. Basically anything that runs on engine. Most of the time he plays with his small cars, tractors and mopeds and even though he got all excited about little dinosaurs I got for him the other day, he even makes them to drive his fire truck. It is quite funny and cute how excited he gets when he hears a plane or a moped outside. A true broooom brooom boy.

So, when I was making him this shirt, I just had to applique a moped in front. He was one happy little kid this morning going to kindergarten with his moped shirt. “Look mommy, a mooooped. Broooom broooom. A moooped!” :D
