YAY! This one is another hit with Arianna. *does the jig* Now, while this pattern is actually called Puolukkapuuro Cord Pants, I didn’t want to get your tongue in a twist hence, Arianna came up with this instead and I think it’s rather appropriate and you’ll see why.

I was meant to finish up a tunic before I set out on these cord pants but somehow, I got stumped with the tunic pattern which I swear is easy to sew up but somehow, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t figure out how to attach the collar on!! >:S Needless to say that I was most annoyed with it and have since chucked it in the corner of my UFOs. These cord pants are the second last in the set of items that I’m making for Arianna and after this, I’ll be taking a break while I decide on what to sew for KR and JR…if not, perhaps some summer clothes instead.

Aka as Puulukkapuuro Cord Pants, sewn in size 104 with Cheeky Monkey ribbons and a 1.5cm waistband instead of a 2.5cm one. I didn’t put any pockets in the front, just substituted it with some matching ribbons instead. (I was too lazy to add the other 2 pockets!)

Thank you to the CM ladies who taught me what ease-stitching is…. Sadly, the pockets are not perfect.

See this? Now you know why Arianna calls it her Cheeky Monkey Pants – and to ensure that I knew she liked this a lot as well, she told Daddy that she got a new ‘pretty dress’! *slaps forehead*

While I normally (try to) follow the Otto instructions as close as I can, I feel that sometimes, you can’t really go through with it hence, I skipped some parts and added my own modification just to make life more easy for me. And I’m glad I did especially the waistband….

TFL!

Ps. Would this be alright for a little boy??
