Nesting with Sew a Straight Line

 

Sabra, as the name of her blog implies, is a sewing master. I don’t think there is anything this woman can’t sew. She also has a sense of humor that I just love and she’s a beautiful mom to four cute kids. I love reading her blog and always come away from it laughing, uplifted, or inspired…or all three.

Good morning fellow Delia Creates-readers!  I’m Sabra and I blog at Sew a Straight Line.  I can’t tell you how excited I am to be here today!  Like Delia is about to do, we added our first girl to our previously-all-son family two months ago.  Ivy is sweet and soft and adorable, and we’re completely in love with her. It’s so fun to have a girl, as girl projects are all about details and accessorizing.  And nothing epitomizes this aspect more than the ruffle.  Slap a ruffle anywhere and you’ve pretty much girled things right up.   But as a mom of three boys, I like to find ways to sneak fun details into their clothing, too. Today I want to share a quick and easy pant with you that allows for individualizing no matter the gender.  My pattern uses just about half a yard total of knit fabric, so you can easily use an upcycled t-shirt or put to use any larger knit scraps you have laying around.  At least that’s what I did.  Just click the fun little be-bummed button here to go to the full instructions with downloadable PDFs in three infant sizes:Thanks Delia for letting me nest along with you.  I can’t wait to see your new little one!

These pants are so stinking fun, perfect for those poofy diaper bums.
