I know that this is not a sewing blog. It’s not even a craft blog. And with good reason. But I’m going to talk about the sewing one more time because I made pants! Okay, shorts. Okay, pajama shorts. They’re lime green with white polka dots, and I made them approximately Owen-sized. This is good, as I’ve sewed bunches of skirts for the girls and Owen was not impressed with my “I don’t know how to sew pants” excuse.
I’d post a picture, but Owen put them on and went to bed the instant they came off the sewing machine, so… perhaps another day.
As he was getting into bed he pointed out that if I bought MORE of the green polka dotty fabric, I could make more pajama shorts. Bigger pajama shorts. Pajama shorts… for Daddy. Because it is beyond obvious to Owen that Dane not only wants but needs green polka dot pajama shorts.
“Oh yes,” I said before Dane had a chance to answer. “I can definitely make matching pajama shorts for Daddy.” (Dane, at this point in the story, was opening and closing his mouth as though perhaps he could not figure out what just happened.)
Now I just need to figure out which fabric store that green polka dot fabric came from.




Congratulations!! And now Dane has something to look forward to.
He’s just hoping I don’t get any MORE project ideas.
we got my husband nintendo mario shorts for at home, ha ha.
how did you do the waist on owen’s shorts?
I made a casing and threaded elastic through, which is what I’ve been doing on the girls’ skirts, too. For the pattern, I copied a pair of shorts already in existence.
oh, you will have to take a foto of Dane in green polka dotted shorts! ha!
[...] the thing I was sorry about? Remember when I made Owen some pajama shorts? And he asked me to make Dane a matching pair? And I said I would? Well… sometimes I have more [...]
