Two More Pairs of Pants

I know you are probably just about as sick of seeing Sawyer's new pants as I am sewing them. The next time I decide someone needs nine new pairs of pants/shorts/skirts for a season (wait, let me recant the skirts), please someone remind me that monotony almost killed Lera.

This is almost the end of Sawyer's new fall/winter wardrobe. Unfortunately for us (me for sewing and you for reading), there are two more pairs that are cut and awaiting to be sewn. I'm sorry that I have to bore you with this. But, really, it's the most interesting thing happening around here lately.

The green pants are wide-wale corduroy and the rusty-colored ones are a velvety, no-wale (per the lady at the fabric store) corduroy. Corduroy has been on sale lately and dirt cheap. I couldn't resist. I just adore corduroy this time of year. The pockets on the pants are actually "back pockets," but for the sake of only taking one photo (and boring you less), I flipped the pants around. Again I used super-sweet Japanese fabric for embellishing. And I'm totally loving the Humpty Dumpty. The fabric has prompted Spenser to walk around the house reciting Humpty Dumpty. So fun.

On Saturday evening when we were getting ready for our church's Trunk or Treat party, I asked Carter what he wanted to dress up as. He said (and I really have no idea where this came from), "A middle-aged man who starts a town riot." HUH?!? I don't know if he meant a "middle-aged" man, as in someone in their 40's or if he meant a man from the Middle Ages. And what's this about starting a town riot? Needless to say, he dressed up as a knight. Do any of you know what that means? Because I sure don't.

I'm not the least bit bored with all your fall sewing. I think the outfits look amazing, but I bet they're even cuter on!

And no, I have NO idea what was meant by a "middle aged man who starts a town riot". (still laughing at that one)

That boy of yours is a riot. He made me laugh out loud. :)
And I'm not sick of the pants - and I'm totally in love with cordoury too. I've got some black, blue and brown at home that are just waiting to be cut into.

Happy Halloween!

That is so funny "middle-aged man starting a town riot" where do they get these things? My youngest wanted to be an old "dead" grandma.... what is that??? She ended up being a tube of toothpaste.

I've been buying lots of corduroy lately, too. Love your pants. You can show us all nine pairs, I wouldn't care. :o)

What a creative costume idea! What did he wear?
That costume request has me laughing out loud. Too cute!

Did Joe coach him into saying that? How funny!

You should let him carry around a lit torch and a pitchfork for a while. ;)

I guess he wants to be a really exciting and destructive 40-year old!?! Too funny!

The pants you have been making are so cute. I am so glad that corduroy is available in the stores this season! I love it!
