The very pink London pants

Oh, the things we do for love! Some climb mountains, write songs, give up certain foods, move across the globe or tattoo their loved one's name on their bodies...

... I made a pair of pink pants.

Yep, as pink as they get. Because I love my daughter. And because she now likes pink. She spotted this pink corduroy on my fabric shelf and straight away claimed it as hers. So While she was sleeping I turned pink corduroy into a pair of funky London pants with lots of pockets and buttons! When I showed Little Monkey her new pants she said she loved them and that they looked like her daddy's. I think I have a few questions for my husband!

The London pants by Petite Kids Boutique is a lovely pattern that is suitable for both boys and girls. It features a flat front with pockets, side pockets and adjustable length. Enough pockets and buttons to keep Little Monkey happy. As for me, I love the flat front and the fact the pants can be rolled up or let down, which is super convenient at this time of year when temperatures may fluctuate dramatically.

We usually test Little Monkey's new clothes on playgrounds. Her new London pants were tested at...

I got tickets to the Australian Grand Prix as a Birthday present for my husband last year. We all enjoyed the trip and decided to make it an annual family event. So last Sunday we got up bright and early and headed to Albert Park to see 'a lot of fast cars', according to Little Monkey.

I was very pleased with how well Little Monkey's London pants performed. She seemed very comfortable in them. They fit her like a glove! It is a pity she was not in the mood to be photographed.

It was a cool day, but I still wanted to take a few photos of the pants rolled up.

My mum knitted the cardigan Little Monkey is wearing in these photos. She is very talented! Little Monkey stayed nice and warm, and looked oh so cute!

Just like last year, we all enjoyed the Grand Prix. After the race we got to check out the track. Obviously, the best photos are taken on race circuits when unwilling models are too busy having fun to care their mums are going crazy taking photos!

Thank you Petite Kids Boutique for supplying me with this lovely pattern for the review! It is a well designed pattern with clear instructions. I had a lot of fun sewing these pants.

I declare the season of cool pants for cooler weather open!
