Home made wrap pants

Once upon a time I decided I wanted to be crafty. I discovered how to make some comfy wrap pants really easy and cheap. I bought a pack of pillowcases for my fabric. In these pictures I used king size pillowcases, but if you use standard size, it will make some nice capri's.

Here we go.First, un-stitch one side and bottom of both pillowcases. Lay them still folded on top of each other and cut on the folds, half a "U" shape. (this is for the crotch, so it needs to be deep enough to come up to where you want it on your waste)
Then unfold and lay right sides together and sew your "U" shapes together

Turn right side out, finish raw edges on the sides.
Then use the "U" scrap fabric to make straps for the straps and fold under the top for the waist band. (if you need more length for the straps cut some strips off the top of the pants before you fold it under)

To put them on, saddle up and tie the back or the front first, which ever you prefer. In this picture the back is tied first then the front.Ta Da

He has a name

I meant to write about this earlier but Tim and I had decided on a name quite a while ago for our little bundle of joy. His full name is Damon Brody Grossnickle. At this point we are calling him by his middle name, Brody. We are really excited for his arrival in July. It's fun to feel him roll around and kick, and to watch Tim feel him too (He loves his son so much already). I haven't been sick much at all which has been really nice.

Since I can't upload the video I took of my girls at state, this is a good one taken from OSAA
