Elephant Trousers

When I finished sewing a baby changing bag for my sister I had some material leftover. It’s elephant drill, and I looked at it and immediately thought – that’s enough to make a pair of trousers! So that’s what I used it for!

I made these trousers from the new Parsley Pants pattern from Made by Rae. The orange and blue trousers I’ve made in the past get lots of wear, and these are even more cool looking with their elephants and apples, so I’m hoping he likes these just as much – they’re plenty big (I made the size 4 so they’re turned up a few times) so he won’t grow out of them any time soon! The pattern was really easy to follow and because I wasn’t adding pockets to these they were quick to make. The rainbow ribbon at the back was attached to a balloon we brought home from a birthday party a couple of weeks ago. They are very cool looking trousers!
