[...] they are serious about repurposing. Tea towels become aprons (tutorial by my spare time), or shorts for little boys(by dollar store crafts), or teeny skirts (tutorial by grace violet)… bandanas become dresses [...]

These are cute and easy for beginners. I will copy and hange this up for my customers to see and they can come check out your ideas. Little boys clothes are hard to find in the sewing arena.

one way to give the little one more space is to add an extra waist band. I’m assuming that the top was just rolled over to make the casing for the elastic. so just unsew that part and add some extra fabic for the casing on the top and then you get an extra 1 to 1 1/2 more in depth.. If that is not enough then you might want to add some more fabric onto the back seam of the inside leg.. back only like a gusset then resew the inside seam.. that should give him some sit down space.

Thank you for this tutorial! I used it to make some Pirate pants for my boys for Halloween! I just cut out some fabric in the rectangle shape of the towel and went from there! THANK YOU!

I just love this tutorial. I have made two pairs for my 3 yr old son and when I asked him if he likes his shorts he said “Yeah, they make my butt feel happy!”

I used this pattern but made shorts…LOVED IT! Used my new sewing machine I was super happy until my husband noted that, “there isn’t room for his stuff.” I am new to sewing, so don’t laugh, but how do I make the crotch a little lower? Make the portion of the pants from crotch to waist taller???

What a shame that they didn’t fit!

But thanks for the idea, I *have* to try this out in Spring. :D

Bummer that they don’t fit! But still adorable. I like the fabric (er, dishtowel) choice. Great stuff.

Oh I might try to whip up a pair of these for Talulah when she gets a little older. There are some cute dish towels out there too. Once on an episode of Stylelicious we did a dollar store challenge and I think it was Vickie who made a cute as all get out top out of a dish towel. They have all kinds of possabilities.
