Camo Kwik Sew Pants

Managed to knock out another pair of the knit pants from Kwik Sew's "Sewing For Toddlers":

I used a camouflage printed tracksuit material picked up on sale from Textile Trader's.
The back of the material is white, fleecy and annoyingly shed fibres all over the printed side after prewashing- I am so hoping it stops shedding after a few washes grrr.
Interestingly this fabric had "made exclusively for JoAnn's" on the selvage - isn't this an American textiles store?

I decided to add elastic to the leg cuffs this time to make the pants a bit warmer (has gotten cold here) and to eliminate the need for folding them up, as they are a little long at the moment.

Love how quick this project is to make- just what I need right now!
