CARAMEL KOALA BEAR

I dug through my fabric stash and found a gorgeous piece of caramel cord, only 60cm long, not a lot of fabric, but just enough to make Jarvis a pair of sarouels. Now we have a cute boy posing as a Caramel Koala Bear in his caramel cords and bear beanie. 


I cut them out following the pattern I have already drafted for these pants, allowing a little extra because of the no stretch factor. It was an easy sew on the overlocker and sewing machine, which I love. To add a bit of extra detail I added a triangular pocket and edged it in brown cotton.


Once on Jarvis, I realised they are a touch to big for his skinny frame, but I don’t mind. I think the extra ‘puff’ looks cute on him. Being elastic waist they are easy for him to wear and super comfy and warm. All bonuses.


Jarvis had had so many remarks and compliments on all of his sarouels, when he is out and about, I should learn to say thank you I made them and give them a business card.

Trying  to do a photoshoot and we kept getting photobombed by Tira!

The cardigan is another beautiful hand knitted creation from my Aunty from last year. It is now a little short, but I love it so much.

    1. The basil and coriander are growing really well. But the chilli plant and rosemary are not. I am thinking of making myself a pair of cords for winter. I have two meters of red cord in my stash. Not sure if to make a pair like Jarvis's or more of a 1940s style trouser.

      he is cute isn't he?

  6. There are ridiculously cute on him. They remind me of old fashioned type of pants men used to wear way back when. (I forget what they are called)

    1. They are actually a French thing. But back in the 80s they were made popular because of MC Hammer. You Tube it you are way to young to know.
