I have been bunkered down in the studio for the last few days, getting on top of work. While waiting for Adelaide to wake from a particularly long sleep I whipped up this pair of linen pants this morning.
The great thing about sewing for such a little model is that no fabric at all is required. These were made from a few scraps of linen and one metre of linen tape. I like a pair of neutral pants that will go with anything in her wardbrobe. And natural linen is the perfect fabric for summer.
To stop ribbons from fraying, simply apply a little clear nail varnish to the ends. It holds all the fibres in place.
These are just lovely Kris, love the use of the linen tape.

Adelaide should never have to say, "Mummy, I have nothing to wear."

Your work always makes my heart beat that little bit faster. These are so gorgeous. Wish I'd known you when my not-so-little ones were that size.

I agree, I'd love a mum that created as professionally as you - she'll never have a trackie pant day!
