I agree 100%. There are new simplicity patterns called amazing fit that I think I will line win flannel/fleece for the winter here. Yes, it snows in southern Arizona.

Here in the Uk I have found it hard to find flannel lined pants for my son now he is 6. He often had lined or padded trousers as a toddler but for age 6 – 7 very lightweight denim or canvas seems to be the main offering. Also being very skinny lots of shop bought trousers that are the right length just fall down so your post has inspired me to make him some!

Those are a great idea & snazzy!

What a super idea. My husband has flannel lined pants for COLD weather dog walking. Me? I wear regular pants with long johns underneath! So, I see a market for these for girls big and small! ; )

May your Holidays be cozy and filled with love, laughter and the magic of the season!

We live in California so we don’t really NEED flannel lined pants. But they would be great for snow days up in the mountains. Too cute!

I’m not very good at clothes sewing, but if it’s just an elastic waist, I just might be able to do this. Wouldn’t it be fun to have matching pairs for me and my 2 girls? If I had a pair, too, I might be willing to go outside and play in the snow with them more often … right now the only way is if I wear dh’s Carharts, which look totally ridiculous on me LOL! Love the rick-rack, and that flannel you used is so fun.

I believe you’re scheduled to come to our quilt guild, Prairie Star, soon? Looking forward to that!

I was about 13 when I finally persuaded my parents to allow me to wear pants. (My father is 80 now and still doesn’t think women should wear trousers.) I remember it more as an issue of fashion than warmth – I wanted to wear jeans like everyone else. However, as a young girl my school playground activities were limited; another family rule was that you must never let anyone see your underwear. My clothes made the school playground climbing equipment off-limits – you can’t hang upside-down in a dress and keep your undies hidden.

I wish my parents had had your idea of never letting clothing stop you from having fun.
