Sweet Pea Style

It always amazes me how patterns for kids can be so... off! I typically end up combing a few patterns that I like and then make my own alterations to make the garment turn out the way I want.
Recently, I have been playing around with pant patterns. There are so many areas that can go wrong! Too long through the crotch, puckering at the hips, elastic too loose around the waist. It is a real mathematical challenge.
Although not perfected, I have created a pants pattern that I like which means that I can start playing around with style. Here are some pictures of Howie wearing the outfit I made him. I am particularly fond of the big pocket and hope to make that a new statement in my Sweet Pea Style line.
