I used some black linen left over from a skirt I made myself last year. Black wouldn't normally be my choice for a 5-year-old, but I didn't know if the fit would be any good so this was something of an experiment and not worth buying new fabric for. I made pattern O, wide-legged pants, in size 2. Yes, size 2 - and they fit her perfectly with just a little bit of length added. The pattern is an easy sew, with an elastic waist and back pockets. Now R has black linen pants that she may never wear, but they do look kind of cool...

It looks great! I want one for me;) but.. size 2!? You mean "90"? Well, my almost 5 yrs old one can wear "leggings for 24 months". They may have much similarity.. she is a skirts and dresses girl too!
ReplyDeleteShe has a very small waist so I chose the size by waist measurement. As for leggings, I have given up buying them! Like your daughter, R only fits into the smaller sizes, but then they're not long enough for her. Gotta make them myself, I guess...
DeleteI really like these, I think black looks god on her, kind of French chic?
