I love Ottobre magazines for their kids’ clothing. I love all the little touches and the cute details. I loved these pants in the magazine. I’m not loving them on my daughter. It may just be that I’ve been around too many kids with poopy diapers, but these look like a kid that has a full diaper. And ewww, that’s not my thing.
They are cute, I guess. I spent a load of time on them. There is a LOT of coverstitching-as-decoration on these.
See? All I can see are poopy diapers.
She likes them, and they are really comfortable. She can wear them at home, just not out. I won’t allow that madness. She loves the pink topstitching, and the multiple floral prints. I used a gray sweatshirt material, a floral rib knit, and a beefy cotton knit for the knee section.
See? Very cute. On the floor. I do love this way of doing pockets though.
I used the wrong side of my three-thread coverstitch for the pockets and the other decorative stitching.
Here I started using the two-thread coverstitch, because the three-thread coverstitch kept breaking one thread. It was annoying.
Here you can see the correct side on the inside of the pants, and the “wrong” side on the outside. These have elastic in the waistband and also velvet ribbon.
For these, I made a size 110 and it’s about perfect. The girl measures 109cm, so I’d say the sizing is pretty spot on!
