Sometime this past summer, whenever it was that we went to the Farm for a week by ourselves, I made August a pair of cargo pants.  I bought the Coastal Cargo Pants pattern online from BlankSlate Patterns. This was the second Blank Slate Pattern I've used, and it challenged me so much. Mostly because I did about 20 things I'd never done before. At the end of making August's pants, I was a little worn out and not mentally ready to jump into the pair I'd intended to make for Dorien.

Fast forward about six months, and I realized if I didn't make the pants, I'd have wasted the fabric, because I'd already cut everything out in the size that I thought Dorien needed.....six months previous. Fortunately, he's a small guy and the pants are going to still fit him for quite a while. And even if he outgrows them, Wyeth will wear them someday. 

In hindsight, I wish I'd bought fabric in a different color or something so I'd have some variety. But I didn't, so there you have it. I did do something a little different with the cargo pocket flap for Dorien that makes his unique.  

Having made these pants before, I was able to finish this second pair and fix some of the mistakes I'd made on August's pants. They're not perfect, but I'm pretty proud of them.
