guest post by nele from spiegel stiksels
Nele’s work caught my eye in last spring’s kcwc and I’ve been following her blog, Spiegel Stiksel, ever since. She lives in Belgium where she makes beautifully tailored clothes for her kids. Her fabric choices always blow me away! She has a real eye for color and pattern. And today is no exception. Nele took the Kid Pant pattern and changed it up with just a bit of elastic–and some super amazing circus print fabric!

Hello everybody! How exciting to be guest posting here!
When Meg asked me to make something from the MADE kid pants pattern, I knew immediately
what I was going to do. I’ve used this pattern before for my youngest girl.
My girl started circus school last week and needed new pants for her classes. So I got to work and
made here real circus pants. The fabric I used is from Kokka and I bought it at Vermiljoenshop last year.
Since my girl has grown since the last time I used the pattern I had to adapt it a little. So I cut the
pattern into pieces and added some extra width and length.
I also lined the pants with a black and grey striped jersey fabric for extra softness and coziness. I put
an elastic between the two layers at the ankles.
The pants are actually completely reversible. I ended up cutting and sewing a separate waist band.
Thanks for having me, Meg. I’m looking forward to sewing along next week and getting inspired.
Happy KCWC everyone!
