Remember when Monkey asked for Robot pants?
I didn't actually want to make pants out of that fabric - it's a lot easier to use a t-shirt (already hemmed!).
So, here's my compromise:
T-shirt pants (tutorial here) from an old shirt of Aaron's plus Robot appliqués.
Sick of the robots yet?
I did buy four yards, remember?
It has a fake back 'pocket' like the other pair. Not that you can see it from behind 'Backpack'!
Being all cocky, I thought I could make these from memory. Ha! I totally cut them out wrong - but somehow managed to make them work anyway. That was cool.
The point of these pants is just to have something lightweight and easy to pull on when he goes outside. The point isn't about matching. It's not. Really. But I realized this morning that he has NO shirts that match these pants! The one he's wearing is actually red + blue with a football!
Hmm...
So you may be seeing some more robot appliqué soon after all!
