In which a t-shirt becomes some pants

Craig was throwing out this old t-shirt the other day, and I had to save it. I mean, how many op shoppers in NZ would get just how awesome this t-shirt is? Not many, I'm sure. The Afrikaans phrase is 'Punt innie wind', which means something along the lines of 'everything is just fine', but I saw the value in the direct translation: point in the wind. Imagine a little crawling baby wearing these, with the words strategically placed on the bottom....

As you can see, the pattern is very simple; just two pieces sewn together. I made it from a favourite pair of the boys' baby pants I saved because I thought this pattern is so simple and clever. It allows for lots of nappy room too. I tried something new today on these pants: foldover elastic. A very simple solution to adding elastic, especially if you don't have enough fabric for a casing. The only problem is it's so narrow that there's not much room for error. Here's a good tutorial about the stuff if you're interested.
