Black Jeans, the Fancy Pants Completed
I present to you the fancy pants:
My son is so excited that these are done! He wants to wear them to school tomorrow, but he can't as they're a little too eye catching for singing in elementary choir on the platform. I told him just to wear them another day!Here are just a few of the details of the waistband:
Jeans button and belt loops:
This pair of jeans has an adjustable waistband on the inside with buttonhole elastic, complete with buttonhole and button.
I did get my daughter's choir skirt done, too. It isn't anything exciting, just the good old TNT skirt pattern I always use for her.
Tomorrow I think I'll start a jacket muslin for myself for Vogue xxxx.
Parting Shot: New Project. Now that my socks are done and seem to be passing the wear-ability test today, I'm starting something new: a red cabled scarf. The yarn is Rialto by Debbie Bliss, a 100% superwash Merino wool, which can be machine washed. Perfect for winter outerwear accessories.

Your son is fortunate in having you as a mother! you are very creative! Can not wait to see your red scarf.
Ah he looks so very pleased!
His pants look awesome :)
A red scarf? You?!? Surely you jest...
Wow, that's a lot of work to put into your son's pants. He does appear to appreciate it, though.
Pretty groovy! No wonder he can't wait to wear them.
Great jeans!
Nice jeans. I like seeing all the detail photos.
Cool jeans!
He looks so cool in his new jeans.
I always love the everyday clothes you make - they are anything but ordinary!
I've used Debbie Blis yarns quite a few times, and although the colours are great and the yarn is very soft - for the price there are an awful lot of knots. I hope you are not simlilarly afflicted! I haven't used Rialto, but I found knots in Cashmerino Aran and Cashmerino DK.
Very your colour of course!
Saw Bluebird coat in blog pics from Quilt Market, it was on display with some other garments and quilts near the market area!
Cheers,

Love how your son's jeans turned out. The adjustable waistband is a good feature. Gorgeous red wool yarn!
Great pants! I can well understand why your son loves them so much. They're really cool.
Looking forward to seeing your red scarf! The wool is gorgeous.
He looks so pleased with his new "fancy" pants. Please tell him he looks great.
Great pants and he looks so darling. How sweet and satisfying to have him appreciate and wear what you make him. The waist detail is super.
There aren't enough words for how much I love thuse pants! I just adore the choices you make for your son's wardrobe... and that he obviously loves them, too!
