Have you seen the videos of the kid riding his balance bike through a forest of ramps on the way to kindergarten?

How difficult and touching at the same time. <br /><br />These pants are great! And we know all about bikes in the "wrong" color. All of our girls rode a green John Deere bike when they were first learning. That's just how it goes. :)rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000794959264304528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864688565474192425.post-36213182693370466142016-04-17T07:25:14.253-04:002016-04-17T07:25:14.253-04:00Yes, making clothes they love and we approve is so...Yes, making clothes they love and we approve is so satisfying!

I really love these for little boys (probably little girls too, but my little guy is so picky, finding something he likes is like AMAZING)! I love your choice of fabrics and colors here, and I continue in envy of your coverstitch. I have found myself thinking ... "if I want to seriously sew knits, perhaps I should invest ...
