Pants: an experiment

I've been wanting to get better at sewing knits.  I love the idea of making cute baby clothes. Inspired by this blog I undertook an experimental pants project for Clark.  They started out as simple pants from some fabric in my closet and a pattern I made.  I was nearly finished when I looked at them and decided they were boring and I hadn't tried anything new.  I cut off the waist, made a new waistband, and added some pockets with ribbing.  First time working with ribbing and I'm a fan!  I spent more time doing rework than construction on these, but sometimes that's how I learn best.

Hey Kalina,

I'm so impressed with the sewing!! And that you chose white for a baby...seems brave. Hope you are getting more sleep now than last time we met. Erin
