Patches and Monster Mash

With going to school three times a week, Tamlin has been tumbling / playing more on the floor which has resulted in wearing out the knees of several jeans.  He's still young and growing and I have Jude following behind... so I decided to patch the worst pairs.


Four pairs of 5T jeans got their knees replaced with corduroy or jean patches.  (The scraps came from old pants in the spare fabric bin of ours.  Yeah, up-cycle!

I used inspiration from several fellow mom blogs, hence the stripes and the nod to the British flag.

I'm glad to have these still wearable but man-oh-man, sewing in those little legs and stitching one inch at a time is really a pain.


Tamlin seemed to like them and agreed to model a couple of pairs...

These are his "Monster Mash" dance poses.  He's been doing the Monster Mash on the Just Dance wii game and has been becoming quite good at dancing like a zombie.
