As my little poppet is rapidly becoming one very fast growing bean pole, I chose to make these pants a little larger so they might fit her for longer than a month. They are the Tulip Corduroy Pants - quite quick to sew but with such lovely little details. The pin tucks on the back pockets, the adjustable waistband inside, the slightly gathered faced front pockets. I've used vintage floral pillowcase material for the inside pocket flaps and inside waistband... but alas the kidlet got too wriggly for photos of that. To just get these photos I had to bribe with a choc chip cookie!
Not the easiest of patterns as the instructions are a little on the brief side. I wouldn't recommend these patterns for beginner sewers but if you know your way around a sewing machine and have made other dressmaking patterns before, you'll be right.

I wish I had a dollar for every pattern I have drafted out of my Ottobre books, I have tonnes of them, but stopped this year. They are great arent they!!! The pants look great!!
Great pants. I love the colour. I think I will have to check out these Ottobre books. Where do you get 'em?
those pants are very sweet. I lovel those pintucks and the piping on the pockets.
I have been looking around for this magazine in many Newsagents but can not find any in Adelaide who stock it. Did you buy your magazine online?
Love these pants, they gathered bottoms are so cute! I haven't seen this mag in any shops, I subscribe through crafty mamas for mine.
Love my Ottobre too ;) I'm also a member of a forum of lots of Ottobre addicts. :) Craftymamas.com.au :)
yes gilly, it is so sweet details that just make it - they look fantastic.
Love them Gilly! I've just subscribed to Ottobre too and that is my first issue as well - and thought I might start with those very pants. So great to see them made up! How long did it take you to trace the pattern?
Really sweet! Love the fab 50's finds, too!
Hugs,

Hi! I came here from the CM site and had to say here again that I love those pants!
Ohhhhhhh I am an Ottobre fan too..and have quite a few of their books in my collection!
I made up some clothes for my 10 yo last weekend :)
I Love the pants you have made.
These pants are gorgeous! I am a new subscriber to ottobre and definately a convert already. I have made up with girl's sparrow jacket, which I've blogged about, and have another project on the way (Russian peasant top). Great job, they are very cute!
