Guest Tutorial: Button Fly by Trula Kids

Posted February 23, 2011

I’m so excited about today’s guest! I discovered Trula’s blog Trula Kids about a year ago and really fell in love with the bright airy photos from this Barcelona mama and the beautiful garments she makes, especially for boys. Trula is here today to share a tutorial for a button fly trouser, a detail that can make garments for boys really special. You’ll find this technique will work with most any boys pant pattern!

Here’s Trula:

Button flies are just those kind of interesting details of simple designs I really like. You can add them to any simple trouser pattern. Here is how to:

I love those pants and I can’t wait to make a pair for Elliot. Thanks Trula for helping us Celebrate the Boy!
