Oh and I did it...I officially cut into the first pair of uniform pants of Scott's. Yay me. It has been a bit of a pain trying to figure out how and where to cut with all the seams and pockets on these things..WOW.. So far just a few pouches finished. I plan on adding them to totes that I will make out of his tops. So far he approves and is excited to see them all finished. So that gives me the little extra umph I need to hurry up and get them done..... Or maybe he just wants me to move onto packing for our move already :P....You just never know with men haha...
Oh and it's hard to tell but I used an existing "hidden" pocket on Scott's pants to create a front pocket to the top pouch...Go me!!!
I am also working on a few of my crochet poncho's that were ordered this past week. Did I mention I was busy?? :) I am convinced I can now safely write up a pattern for these since I can put them together without much thought. So that is the next thing on my list. :)
Thanks Kirsty for Hosting...I really am addicted to Creative Space...

Using Scott's pants to make presents for your families is a WONDERFUL idea. And what you have made so far is great. That drawstring bag is awesome.
Love the cape...
Oh those ponchos...I love them. If you need someone to test your pattern I'm sticking my hand up.
What a fab drawstring bag! This is a great idea of yours, to 'recycle' the uniforms!
Best,
Annamaria
the recycles unuform is such a great idea and the poncho is fab - i've started basic crocheting now and love it
I can certainly relate to your children delemma. The same thing happens to me only mine is 16 months old and chooses to clamber all over me and take what ever I am trying to do
love that poncho!

The pouches and bag look fabulous - they will make great presents.

These look fantastic Amanda! Good luck with all your busy-ness... hope you take time to rest too :) K
these look great! good luck with the list!
Well done for actually getting some cutting started - it's always the hardest part. I LOVE your little poncho - if there ever was a tutorial up for it I would love to have a go. xx
great recycling amanda. the bag looks great. the poncho is very sweet
now that is all just so cute...bring on those patterns i say :)
I love your idea of recycling your hubby's pants! Your pouches are so neat and the poncho is also darling! You sound so busy but creative!!
At least you've started your Christmas stuff (I haven't!). I think your upcycled pants creations look great - love the pocket save. My kids are the same when I start sewing or cutting or anything that is a PITA to be interupted, they wake/ need to go to the toilet/spill something all over the floor LOL. What can you do?!
Oh, and I love your poncho.
