i finally got around to making the extra wide lounge pants from amy butler's
in stitches. i have wanted to make them for a while. i had forgotten about them until eren posted
hers a few days ago. i immediately thought of a thrifted sheet i bought last year and thought the top of the sheet made for a perfect bottom for the pants. these pants are the most comfortable lounge pants (or easy britches as my dad would call them) i have ever owned. seriously. it is like having the coziness of bed without actually being in bed! and they are so easy to make. i will definitely have to make more.

and just as a bonus, some pics that we took of the kids on the front porch this week...

Love those lounge-y pants! And those kids, oh how fun. Love little boys -- and those pigtails -- too cute!
ReplyDeleteThose do look mighty comfortable!
ReplyDeleteoh they're super! these have been on my mind for several months now...i actually want to have some to wear out. you got me thinking again, amy!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love those lounge pants. Makes me wants to get the sewing machine out and make me some. The pictures of the kids makes me want to see them. Give them a big hug for me.
ReplyDeleteLove to all, Aunt Deborah
I love how those came out. Surely I must be the last person in the world to try a pair myself. I'd better get that book, I think.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute. I should give them a go.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos of the kids too and those pigtails with that dress....
I just had to come back and comment on the front porch which looks beautiful. That is one of the things I really wanted when looking for in a house that I didn't get. I still lament over it. Someday I will get my farmhouse victorian but, for now I have a center hall colonial.
ReplyDeleteI have that book too. did you use the top edge of the sheet for the cuff of your pants?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that not only are the comfortable, they look great on everyone that has made them! Gotta put this on my list to do!
ReplyDeletep.s. I love that, "easy britches". Sounds like something my dad would say as well.
ReplyDeleteThose are so perfect for a nice summer evening to hang out in!! The children are adorable as usual :)
ReplyDeletei have this pattern, i will try it this weekend!if i can feel like i'm in bed while walking around, i'm sold!!
ReplyDeletei can even get myself together to keep my blog up...let along sew some easy britches!
ReplyDeletethey really super cute...and i love the wideness of the pant too
Love it all--pants, Larkin, Lucy and Amy. Larkin looks as though he is about to say "Getchya,Getchya,Getchya" Would that be how you spell it?
ReplyDeletelove & kisses,mama
Those pants look great! Super comfy.
ReplyDeleteHow comfortable! I love the last photo.
ReplyDeleteI need to make me a pair. You have inspired me. Love your sheet fabric. They turned out great.
ReplyDeleteLove the lounge pants. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteOK, so I need a pair of those pants, they are so cute! :-) I just can not believe that Lucy is that big!
ReplyDeleteFAB pants...I want a pair...I think I need no further excuse to buy that book now!
ReplyDeletethe kids are just too cute! and i adore the lounge pants - i just LOVE wearing stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteLove how yours turned out. Next, you'll have to try a pair for Lucy using a vintage pillowcase...too cute!
