Well, hello! I've been busy behind the scenes trying out some of the patterns from the Bundle UP brought to you by Pattern Revolution and 11 talented designers. 11 brand-new patterns -- you choose what goes in your bundle -- the more you buy, the more you save :)
Today, I tried out the Jocole Wide Leg Pants -- wide leg pants with an easy, pull-on knit waist. You can keep them comfy in knit or make them stylish in your favorite woven. Since the doll size is included, I decided I'd whip them up for Hallie, my 5 year old's Our Generation doll. Aren't they adorbs?!

Construction of the pants is super quick. If you leave off the pockets, you could sew them in minutes. I love the way Jodi has you sew the pants together too! It's my favorite way to sew pants and not end up with wonky crotch.
I had a small remnant of this adorable pin-dot lightweight denim (sold at Hobby Lobby) that I knew would make an adorable pair of doll jeans. I included the inseam pockets too! For the waist, I used a hot pink knit lycra blend from Purple Seamstress. For added detail, I used white ric rac at the hem and topstitched in hot pink.
These are just too cute for words! I think I may have to pop back to Hobby Lobby and see if they have more of this fabric so my girls can have a matching pair!
Go and get your bundle on -- build your girls (and dolls) a better wardrobe!! Don't delay, the deal ends Feb. 2nd.
