Very impressive, Kate! Love the expression on his face in the break for refreshments pic!

And he looked exactly like Kate in that picture.
He did a great job. You must be proud.
Not bad indeed. Congratulations on bringing another sewist into the world. ;-)

Very well done!!!
What a super job, James! And the jeans fit him perfectly!
And wow, is he growing up, too!! Quite the handsome young man.

He did a great job! Conga-rats to James!
Very good! Now perhaps he can start making clothes for Mum and Dad while Mum gets on with the income-producing sewing (chortle, chortle.) I forwarded the link to my dgd for whom Kate obtained a sewing machine last Christmas. Let's see if it inspires her.

What a clever young man! I've always been afraid of even trying to sew jeans and this is his first project!!!!!! What will he be like when he gets up a full head of steam.
He did AWESOME! Can't wait until my little boy can sew with me!!
Good for James, he looks like a pro! I know you are as proud of his project as he is. Emily
I know you are Happy that he enjoys being this creative. Barbara in SC "Kate XXXXXX"
You can start early with simple things. My youngest child made his first garment (loose-fitting, elastic-waist shorts) when he was 3 or 4.
Then I've got about a year! Doesn't give me much time to learn to sew myself!!
I'm trying to persuade him to do a shirt... He wants to do another quilt. I see an opportunity for bribery coming up! :D
Hehehehe! He's fairly impressive all round, but don't tell him I said so! He wanted to get me some more Dolly Mixtures to replace those, so I'd have some to nibble on... :D
Very proud - I keep telling everyone he made them (he's been wearing them all weekend while we were away), and making him go BRIGHT PINK! :D
Thank you - but I don't take ALL the credit! I keep reminding him his granddad used to make all his own trousers!
