Woodsman Pants: A Finish What You Have Project
Pants for a woodsman, with built-in suspenders and antler buttons. Now, if I would just let him chop some trees down, he'd be really happy.
Fabric by Joel Dewberry via Sew, Mama, Sew. Crochet closure inspiration from Mette.
Vintage ear flap hat from grandma C. She has a vintage clothing store (Decades of Fashion) in San Francisco — I know, lucky us! The truck shirt is for hauling the wood out of the forest, don'tcha know.
Little brother's contribution to the woodsman game was to wear a hand-knit thrift store sweater with squirrel motifs.

That squirrel sweater is cute. And the woodsman pants are really great, especially in conjunction with the earflap hat. H. looks like he's ready to go and pull some George Washington action on some trees. I really like the "finish what you have" rubric; as a perennial non-finisher, it's an idea I need to grasp fully and actually implement.
OMG he's looking so grown up. I love the pants. So adorable. :)
That's hysterical!
What a pair - too cute :)
Now why is it that little brother's legs look so damned adorable...and my legs look a LOT like his, but they're not cute in the least? It just ain't fair.
Your kids are sure beautiful.
so flippin' cute!
and i had that same floor at some point in my life - i'm trying to place it...
those are so STYLIN. but its the facial expression that puts it over the top, cutewise.
those pants are amazing, I love them!
I think my husband would be jealous.
You're in Craftzine! You're all famous 'n' stuff.
Coolest pants ever!!!
What a serious little woodsman. Is he contemplating the ecological consequences, or is he just annoyed you are taking so long???? Very very cute.
I'm simply in love with the whole look! That hat has inspired me to design something similar for my husband. Even big boys look cute in earflap hats!
I LOVE these outfits. They are so cute and well done. I love the idea of a little woodsman.
You should save that picture to show his prom date sometime in the future.
WOW. That is a great outfit. I also am obsessing on your red and blue outfit in the previous post. I have been looking for that very same fabric forever, and I love what you did with it.
I'm also trying to get it in gear to sew a child's outfit for SMS this month.
P.S. How have you avoided tantrums somehow?
Oh my goodness, look at those gorgeous legs!! And I love those trousers and braces - I wish they were available in my size!!
he sure makes the perfect little woodsman...what adorable little boys you have!!
That baby is seriously cute!
Those pants are too cool!
how precious! but can i just say - those legs!!! OMG - just absolutely darlin! :D
i miss little toddler tubby legs *sigh
That is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen! What a great idea to use the wood grain fabric and the ear flap hat - well, that is just fantabulous!!
