Happy Pants

These are my new happy pants! Come on now. . .how could you not be happy when you look at them? They make me feel good on several levels.


First, they are a creative outlet. I’m always happy when I get to create something. I sewed them using instructions from this book.


They are made from a re-purposed twin sheet that I found for $2. How could you not be thrilled to have $2 pants???

I learned several new techniques while I made them – buttonholes! A matching drawstring! How can you not LOVE orange ric-rac?? Is there anything as soft and comfortable as a well worn sheet? Now imagine kicking around the house in something this comfortable! What’s not to love??


The thing I find most rewarding about these pants is that I got to learn new things. I've always sworn that I want to be the kind of little old lady who's sweet and funny and learns something new every single day. . .even when she's 97. I won't be in the Red Hat Society. . . I'll probably start my own Loud, Happy, Flowered Pants Society! Care to join me?
