sheet pants
Wednesday, September 10, 2008So yesterday it was all about the linens. Organizing and folding them. I was so happy to see a sheet that we don't use. With a cute top. Well you know, that sort of put me back on the sidetrack trail.
Next thing you know, I was gathering the necessary materials to make another pair of lounge pants. Because everyone needs a new pair for the fall.
I couldn't wait to put them on. And did so as we were getting the kids to bed. And breezing by my husband in the hallway, he mumbled, "nice sheet pants". I laughed so hard it hurt.
I couldn't believe he knew these were sheets. However, considering these were his sheets from when he was single, I guess it would have been hard to forget.

I won't be back in this space until sometime next week.
Be good, friends.

ReplyDeleteThose look simply great! I'd bet old flannel sheets make some rockin' pants, too :)
ReplyDeleteI love those lounge pants...I can't find the pattern in Canada (or at least in my city) and even if I did...I just can't take up sewing...I can't :( Not enough hours in the day for me and I am trying to finish Anniki :)
ReplyDeleteCute pants, Les! Have a good time!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, my linen closet could use a little cleaning and sorting. . .
ReplyDeleteNice pants!
Oh how cute! Your pants have real history!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! I was JUST going to ask you about the adorable "sheet pants" that you made a while back. I think there is a photo of you in them at the fridge, and then one with you and your sister (???) lounging in them.
ReplyDeleteA girlfriend and I just picked up some fab vintage sheets and she was in love with the idea of making lounge pants with them.
Where is that pattern again? if you wouldn't mind. =)
Okay, that's it, I must make these pants right away, they are so cute! Enjoy your time away!

ReplyDeletethey look wonderful and comfortable. have a good time off.
ReplyDeleteThere's something sort of ironic about you mking pants for you from B's bachelor sheets.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to open up a "Sheet Pant" Etsy store so I can buy some. I'm so horrendous with a sewing machine I couldn't even attempt these. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a lesson in there somewhere: bachelor sheets to wife pants. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteI heart sheet pants. and how sweet of your husband to notice, too.
ReplyDeleteenjoy your week off!

ReplyDeleteI love that pattern. A friend just made me a pair recently and I am in love. Making them out of sheets...brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI love the sheet pants. I need to find some old sheets. I'll be spending some time in the attic I guess. Kathleen loved your fancy fingerless glove pattern. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed making those vintage sheet pants. They are sooo comfy...especially made out of a warn sheet!

ReplyDeleteMen...their sense of humor is what makes us keep them around... ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try that sheet pants idea sometime -- I can just imagine how wonderful that nice, crisp & cool linen would feel.
Great lounge pants. Hope you got through some of the items on your lists.

ReplyDeletethey look great! have a great time away.
ReplyDelete"nice sheet pants" that is hysterical! I can't believe he recognized them either, how funny. They do scream out to be pants, love them. And it is special that they are from when he was single, cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that you keep all of these sheets to be made into pants later! Have a great time away!
ReplyDeleteI *so* need an eyeball adjustment! I thought the title of the post said "Sheep pants."
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks for the information regarding the wooden plates. I have Acacia cups and have been looking for plates to match. I called and ordered - they are so lovely to deal with. They also wanted to know how I found them, I gave them your website. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteHa! That's funny.

Wow! Cute pants! I have a sheet that just sprung a hole in it and I've been wondering what to do with it. Now I know.
ReplyDeleteGotta admit that the phrase sheet pants is pretty funny sounding.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having fun!
How funny- sheet pants! I still need to get her book. Hopefully in a few weeks. I love the first pair you made, such cheery fabric.
ReplyDeleteI saw some cute flannel with a border print and thought of you- you and lounge pants, that is. I probably need to get that pattern...
