I'm going to have a go at making some lovely warm, wool, botanical themed pants for my little girl.
The picture I have in mind is of old fashioned knickerbockers or maybe pantaloons? The type men would wear while dueling with swords. Bunchy and roomy with a three-quarter leg and worn over tights. Cute :)
I have a little bit of pink blanket wool leftover from a Dandelion Coat which will be great to make the basic trouser with. Of course then they will need some hand embroidery. Wildflowers will be sweet, including a dandelion of course!
Hmmm pleats on a waistband or simple elastic? Will need to accommodate a cloth nappy underneath too.
I might have a little play with some ideas in the studio tomorrow...
Love the idea, can easily imagine them, will be super cute.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely idea - beautiful posy pic :) Love seeing your preliminary drawings too!
ReplyDeleteOh gorgeous! Do make a pair with your new fabric.
ReplyDeleteOoh yes, the blue paisley-esq one would look amazing!
