Snappy pants!

Does anyone other than me remember snap away sweat pants?

Apparently major retailers everywhere have forgotten the fabulous-ness that is snap away sweat pants. Or they are way overcharging for this luxury, and this is a major bummer for me. Because my seven year old Tony is playing Pee Wee basketball this year! Which is great, except for the fact that it is COLD outside. I have been to no less than six stores and also the great internets looking for tear away pants he can wear as we are in transit to his practices and games because the whole pulling your pants off over your shoes sucks thing is the reason snap away pants were invented in the first place.

Alas, I can only find those stupid things in his team colors on eastbay.com and for an OUTRAGEOUS $35. These are sweatpants, people!!

So, all this to say last night I bought some snaps and a snap tool and in the very near future, I will be chopping up some sweatpants and attempting to make them snappy!

I have a ton of quilt work I want to focus on as my deadline for having both auction quilt tops finished is the 12th, so I can send them in for the classrooms and moms running the auction to see, but hopefully this will be a quick project and not a total disaster. If it does become a total disaster, well, I may just end up out $35 plus shipping and handling...
