Granma is the 'Chief Trouser Maker". It is a job I quite enjoy except for school trousers I have decided! The school trousers have not been coming out long enough. They start out fine by the measurements and seem to shrink during the sewing process, and then shrink several MORE inches on the first wash and dry. However, I think we might have succeeded with getting some long enough to get down to the ankles (with 10cm added to the original length). They were needed in a hurry so they went off in the mail without having their photo taken.
Then it was time to make some for the Thomas fanatic. First a pair of trousers so he could turn up at soccer wearing the right colour! I might add here that this piece of cord has been waiting to be little boy trousers since his uncle was 2 years old.
Then the top of the hits! A Thomas label, and Thomas knee patches so he can see them himself .
And on the back some Thomas pockets.
And then to blend into the bushes at the playground to hide from Mum at going home time, some ripstop froggy rainforest cammos!

The trousers fit him nicely.
(And the school trousers fit her nicely too although she thinks they are too long.. Mummy, they cover my socks!)
I have to hide the Thomas ones when not in use or in the wash, he just goes into the laundry to get the next days clothes out - out of the dirty washing basket! Thomas is always on the bottom of our washing basket now.
