I’ve already sewn up (and loved!) one of LouBee Clothing’s patterns-the Bimaa, so I was dying to take a swing at her Hosh pants after seeing them all over blogland. They are a quick and easy sew-and practically tailor made for my skinny Sadie. I sewed them up for both girls-in this awesome stretch sateen, and some teal corduroy from Hancocks fabric.
This fabric was perfect for the pattern-just enough stretch and a fun pattern for my girly. I made the size 5 for Sadie, and I wished I’d gone with the 4T, since they were too long and a little baggy on her. I do wish there were finished garment measurements included in the pattern…that might have helped me decide on the size to make. I also could have held the pattern up to some store bought pants that fit her, but I was lazy, so…yeah. lol
They are so cute together in their hip happening pants!
Charlotte got her teal cords..sewed up a size 3T which were about the right length but a bit baggy, so I wish I’d sewn up a size 2T. I’ll just have to make some more, right?

I love how easy the waistband is to finish-with button hole elastic to keep it cinched in! I used Katy’s awesome tips on how to make your own buttonhole elastic.
Don’t worry, Charlotte, it’s REALLY easy.
One thing for sure – kids won’t grow smaller 🙂 Your girls will just enjoy their new pants for longer 🙂 Love Charlotte’s tee too haha
true fact! and they were so fast it’ll be easy to whip up some more!
Love these. Just in time for colder weather and perfect for littles who insist on comfort and won’t wear jeans! This project will definitely be going on the to-make list. and when I do, I’ll be sure to link back to you! Thanks!
