KCW BONUS PROJECT!
once those costumes were finished i just felt like i wanted to sew something for everyday. and since my little guy needs pants and i knew i could sew some up pretty quickly, i did just that.
meet straight-up-from-his-nap mr. mcgrouchypants and his parsley green parsley pants.
as the post title suggests, i used the parsley pants pattern by Rae in a 2T. love this pattern – i helped test it in April, and back when i did that, they were pretty huge on him. for some reason i thought they might still be big, but now the fit is PERFECT. huh. i guess kids must grow or something.
i chose the pintuck option for the first time and love how it takes the pants up a notch and makes them look a bit retro too. also went for the front patch pockets, they’re fun.
the fabric is a soft medium weight green twill from Hancock Fabrics that i got when i visited Jess. twill is one of my favorite fabrics to sew little guy pants with – sturdy but still soft.
i was super inspired by Laura’s green banyan pants and also stumbled on Sabra’s green jeans post from last fall, and styled my guy to match those two dapper little fellas. gray cardigan and a white shirt with green pants, check!
now i REALLY feel like i participated in KCW – i usually sew basics that end up getting worn a lot and this project fulfills that.
although, based on his reaction to his spiderman costume and utter refusal to take it off whenever he tries it on, i might have just made a “basic” there too, eh?
thanks for following along!

please don’t show that boy sucking his thumb to me. It’s going to get me pregnant again > : (
love the green, and the whole outfit too. such a little man
You can’t go wrong with green jeans! Love ’em! x
Awesome pants, man! And, they are even in parsley. Fantastic.
Super cute! I made the irresistible green cords/ gray striped cardigan in the spring and now it’s all too small. Wah. I might need to try this pattern just for those pin tucks.
Sooooooooooo cute, I am sure he will wear those a ton! I like the pintucks too, makes them look so professional.
oh kristin, i really love this so much. in my experience, choosing bright colors is great for kids because they hide stains well. i really do love an understated look, but my kids always stain light fabrics and i don’t want them (or me) 🙂 to have to worry about it. and someday your new little guy will be able to wear these too!
oh, man these are so fab! I want a pair of green pants just like it!
love these, especially those pintucks and that great color! i kinda can’t wait til oscar fits this pattern. the pintucks are definitely in his future! 🙂
they are awesome! I adore the pintucks. the green is fab!
So cool… and green! And pintucks!
