New pants

I made these over the weekend - I used the same general pattern I used for the brave new pants but allowed some extra room for juicy thighs. The brave new pants - made with the beautiful lara cameron fabric - couldnt be worn for a few weeks - somehow I hadnt allowed enough room to get the elastic over the thighs - fortunately he learnt to crawl quite soon after their construction and thighs slimmed down quite considerabley (Note to self - crawl more each day!)

These pants are made from a heavy canvas/denim I got it from an opshop so I'm not 100% sure what it is but i liked the colour and it looked nice after it had been washed - so hopefully they will stand the test of crawling. I used a simple red biasing binding to hem them.

Our first tomatillo harvest - it did take much longer than i thought it would, possible because its been much cooler this summer than is normal with lots of overcast grey rainy days. Hopefully it will have been worth the wait. We're making pork and green sauce tonight for dinner with mexican rice - I'll let you know how it goes!

This little guy was an impulse purchase from moonmum. He's georgeous and her stuff is fabulous - very cool cards and small gifts. Unfortunately the gloomy raining weather made it hard to take a good photo, but you get the idea.
