apple picking pants

I bought this great fabric when it was released – it’s the cotton canvas apple print from Melody Miller’s Picnic collection. The kids caught me browsing fabric one day and immediately requested pants out of it. Hazel picked this colorway, and Max this one.

I washed the fabric as soon as it arrived, but then promptly forgot about it. Then suddenly last week I remembered and quickly whipped up some pants for the kids. Apple pants while picking apples? I just couldn’t resist!

(one apple up on top, two, two apples up on top!)

The pattern is a favorite around here – Rae’s Parsley Pants. The fit is perfect every time, though I do add about 2-3 inches in the length, as these kids are kinda tall.

I haven’t made much in the way of kids clothing lately, but making these pants reminded me that I should. It’s fun to be able to make something unique out of fun fabric, and of course it’s always nice to see how excited the kids are when I show them something I’ve made for them (I realize that won’t last forever, so I best get sewing now!)
