Isn't she precious?
I love crafting of all kinds but my true love is sewing. I am also falling in love with photography. I am just beginning to use my camera on the manual setting and it's so much fun! But I digress...
I present to you the Reversible Cheeky Trousers Tutorial!

Last year I whipped up these Tiny Heiny Valentiney Reversible Baby Britches and the tutorial has the second-most hits on my blog!

Also, did you notice how the hearts on the back pockets are sideways? Yeah, I didn't either until they were done...oops.
Here is the pocket construction:

Sash construction:

Follow the same pants construction instructions as on the original tutorial, but instead of using those waist instructions use these: (You will be making 3 rows of stitches instead of 2.)
For some reason I didn't take any pictures of the belt loop construction but it's super easy, you just fold the 2 X 3 strips lengthwise right sides together and sew down the long side. Turn it, fold in the two short sides and press. Position on your pants like so:

Very cute! I love the folded up hem, in fact just this morning I realized I was 1.5" short on the pants I was making for my son. I was thinking about added a contrasting fabric to the bottom but wasn't sure how it would look. Now I know it will be cute!
ReplyDeletevery cute - the rolled up hem and waistband make the pants!
ReplyDeleteCute! I made your first V-day version last year, but love the big-girl version even more :)
