Cassius Coon Butt pants

I'm participating in Kid's Clothes Week, a gathering of sewers, designers and even just people trying to sew more. It provides a community where we who sew can be inspired by getting a chance to see what our peers are making. It also is a commitment to spend a part of every day of one week setting aside everything else and sewing clothing for kids.

Day one I spent dreaming and digging through fabric. Finally I settled on a wonderful vintage kids' pattern that my Grammy gave me and I sat down and began cutting some petal pink fabric.

Today is day 2 and I did get a bit more time to cut some new pieces and get some real sewing in. Sweet Littlebird took a good long nap (that didn't end in a stinky diaper thank goodness!!!) and I used every second I got to cut and sew. Tonight my father in law came over to play with Wren and I got a surprise date with my sewing machine. The old girl done good! :)

I started my Etsy shoppe ( www.etsy.com/shop/littlewrendesigns ) just about 4 months ago and most of my business there and at craft shows is from my woodland dresses and shoes. I've gotten lots of positive feedback about my dresses and slippers but I've also gotten frustrated comments from moms of baby boys who pick up the dresses and sigh, and put them back saying "There's never anything cute for boys!"

So...

I present to you:

From the front these are classy wool pants, from the inside these are NOT itchy at all since they are lined with flannel, and from the back they are unbearably cute!

to make it even better, I drafted the pattern for the raccoon face and I'm going to scan my pattern and post it to you so can raccoon any pants! The face is only felt so it's easy to work with and doesn't need to be hemmed!

I'll be posting this in the next couple of week hopefully!
