Ben & Mia Pants

Hello.

I bought 3 PDF patterns from Lily Bird Studio, including the "Ben & Mia Pants".
I made a pair for my 4 year old son.

Front with Pockets

Back

This is such a great pattern, as are all I purchase from
Lily Bird Studio. They are so comprehensive. The pattern was emailed so quickly and has detailed instructions of every step. This pattern actually had 49 pages so I just printed out the pattern pieces and just referenced from the computer. Saved heaps of paper and ink this way :-)

I decided they were quite a dressy style pant and they would look great with a little tie so I made one using this tutorial from See Kate Sew.

I slightly altered the design and made it adjustable using 4 press studs on the back. I actually don't think I followed the directions/pattern properly because my tie was not long enough
to fold over the neck piece as the tutorial explains.
I just folded the top of the tie over the neck piece and stitched it closed and added a piece around the top to give the illusion it had been tied.


Now I just need a special occasion for him to wear them :-)

  1. They do look dressy with the black and white check. The black piping and buttons really finish them off nicely.

  2. I love the pants! How funky!!! I reckon I could get my partner to wear those (in big boys size of course!), they'd be perfect for gigs!
