I saw these adorable ruffle butt jeans (for toddlers, of course;-)) on Pinterest.
They are made by RuffleButts and cost $26.50. That's actually not a bad price;
but not one that I would pay! I love that they look like jeans but have an elastic
waist band so they are super comfy.
I just purchased a pant pattern from Lily Bird Studio. Right away I imaged
making my own, for way cheaper!
First I used some fabric that I purchased at Joann's. A blue stovepipe
denim, on sale, for $6.49/yd.
(And lightweight enough that my sewing machine can handle it!)
I used my Ben&Mia Pant Pattern but you can easily make your own
pattern following Made's pant pattern tutorial!
If you use the Ben&Mia pant pattern, just make sure you don't cut
out the pockets; unless you want front pockets!
I followed the pattern exactly, but to top it all off I cut 3 strips
of denim. About 2.5inches wide by 20inches long.
I sewed them length wise, right side together. Then turned them
right side out. You can use a ruffling foot. However, I just
gathered the fabric as I sewed so it ruffled up. A cheater way,
And there ya have it...a simple, comfy, easy pant! But also
adorably cute!!
