everyone deserves a pair of comfy pants! comfy pants for all!
in september i emailed Kelli with a crewcuts link i’d found, suggesting that a kid version of her hudson pants pattern would be super rad. she wrote back saying it was actually already in the works, and now here we are! mini hudson pants! Continue reading
seriously, what is this baby’s deal? i can’t keep him in pants that fit! he went from my smallest baby at birth to my biggest by the time he was 6 months old, and it seems he does nothing but grow out of all his clothes. pants are the main problem. WELL I’LL SHOW HIM.
