Wow. One thing is certain: YOU GUYS ARE EXCITED ABOUT BOY MONTH. Woohoo! That makes The MADE-Maids happy to hear! And to really get our celebration going, I thought gifts were in order....our should I say Pirate's Booty?
Lounging pants are one of my favorite gifts to make for a newborn babe (or toddler). They're soft knit, they're lounge-y, comfy, and the best part is....you can decorate the bum:
The pattern for these are similar to kid's pajama bottoms from GAP or Old Navy, with a triangle in the bum area. The changes I made are: Elastic waist band with casing, and wide pant leg (instead of elastic bottom). So if you have a pair of PJs lying around, use our Make Your Own Pattern Tutorial and try them out!
And if you're in a Pirate mood like the MADE-maids are.....
Try out the Lounging Pirate Pants! I found an image online, printed it off, cut it out, traced it to knit fabric, cut the fabric out (with much patience)....
and sewed that Jolly Roger right on to the bum. That's right. Arrrr kinda like it! And arrr kinda want to wear these myself! But...we're not talking about girls here....back to the boys.
Wondering where the GIVEAWAY part comes in? I'm getting there.
But let's just be all pirate-y for a bit longer. How bout some really cool Etsy finds....
