Anna Maria Horner's Toddler Pants

Poppy Seed Fabrics sent me a few fat quarters to play around with.

They are a cute little Etsy shop that offers an array of fabrics.

Boy was I excited!

I knew immediately when I saw them that I wanted to make Owen some pants.   I checked out Anna Maria Horner's book handmade Beginnings from my local library, and I quickly made her Quick Change Trousers.  I just L.O.V.E. them!  I have four pants in two.  My kind of pattern!  Plus, I can take the skills I learned from Anna and apply them to make up a pair on my own.

Okay, how stinkin' cute are these??  How could I pass up on this?  Clearly, I couldn't.

I will not get into the tutorial side of making these pants because you can check out the book, and read her instructions.  I didn't change much, except adding a placket on one pair. 

I knew I wanted a white (gasp! or stupid me) pair of pants for Owen.  The colors of the fabrics that were sent to me would really pop well against a white background.  I also wanted to use my chartreuse polka dot fabric because that fabric had been sitting in my closet for over a year now.  Plus, how many chartreuse articles of clothing do you see for young people?  (Some of you may be thinking, "There's a reason why Nancy," but I really like the color.  lol)  So I will let you decide if my pants are Anna Maria Horner quality.  I think they are.

Don't forget to look at the other fat quarter projects here, here, and here.

Fat quarters were c/o Poppy Seed Fabrics, and that did not influence my opinion of the shop.  What I typed was truly my opinion and experience with their fabrics.
