We had an old pair of pants that he was going to give to Goodwill, so in true scavenger fashion I snatched the pants and decided to make a new pair for the little guy. The pants were pretty old and had holes, but with a little careful cutting I was able to make it work. I also used the inside fabric for the outside of his pants since it was in much better condition. I used the monkey pants pattern again but had to do a lot of modifications since the pattern is for stretch knits only. I had some problems with the gusset, but I was able to make it work and they turned out really cute. I am going to work on the pattern a bit more so it works better for non-stretch fabric. A friend gave me some really cute dyed fabric that is perfect for a pair of lightweight summer pants for the little guy.
