Pooka-Pooka

The story of the pooka pants.

Once apon a time there was a daughter who picked up mom and dad from the airport and fed them some yummy pancakes. Before leaving for their own home they presented us with some parting Hawaiin gifts.

the kids got shirts.

the honey got a shirt.

me- i got pooka pants.

Yea ;) Pooka pants. huh?!

What are Pooka pants you ask?

1st- Pooka pants is what my mom calls them. it is not actually what they are called-there is no name for them. She made the pooka up.

So take a look at that big bad boy. It's tag says- one size fits most!! the picture really doesn't show how wide it is. Maybe a good 46 inch waist. Yikes!! But wait. You slip them on...fold over one side of the waist...and then use the tie in the back to come to the sides and tie in a knot....then you fold over the extra above-a good 6 inches- down. Makes a cute waist and is a perfect fit to your waist. Isn't that what we all desire?

They are made with 100" cotton and the man in Hawaii that sells them batik dyes them or embroiders them. they are capri pant length. Wonderful. So they get softer with washing and fit just perfect for lounging. How great is that?

Look at all the colors!! and even the big fish. wonderful stuff.

So you have to go to Hawaii to get Pooka pants or maybe if i figure the pattern out.....i'll have to give them a try and share.

After trying them on and lounging just a bit I decided that Pooka pants are great and I lived happily ever after. ----don't i wish--

Tomorrow I will be posting the first pattern for the Cranky Quilt!!! It is a row quilt and is made with really no pattern. There are directions to help guide you...but no pattern.

Won't that be fun....or will it make you Cranky?
