With the beautiful snow yesterday and cold, cold temps that rolled over the Front Range, I cut out and sewed up some Quick Change Trousers. A first for me, and I must say it was Soule Mama that persuaded me to give this pattern a try, not being one to buy a book for just one pattern. My first response to the pattern was "seriously", tracing the pattern was like reading a letter from the Revolutionary days. Lines, and very light ones' at that were all over the paper. First, I had to figure out what pattern I was looking for, then gently trace that pattern with a #2 pencil, and finally a tracing on pattern paper to cut out the pattern..whew! More brain power and steps I care to step through when I'm itching to sew! Though once done, these pants are a breeze to sew up, no kidding, like in 20 minutes if that long! Quick Change Pants are lined, though could be made unlined, using what I had in my stash, ( I have A LOT ), the more color and pattern fabric the cuter! I used my serger, my very old serger, like the first one that Bernina put on the market some 35 years ago-oh dear! I have three more pairs to sew together today. Total: 3 pairs for my B and 2 pairs for a baby coming in January. I just can't show up to a shower without a home made with love gift! Hey, my daughter is due too, like at any time now! I can make this little guy several pairs too. Move over quilts in the making, I need a little time for more Quick Change Trousers.

Fabulous trousers. Your little one looks so sweet in them. Impressed that they take such a short time. Apart from the tracing, of course. And you have snow. So, so pretty.
