multiple mentalism
Yes, there are many multiples and yes at first glance it may seem like I am indeed a bit of a nut. But give me a chance to explain. I made Floyd five, yup five, pairs of linen pants but handily enough I have five reasons to justify them.
Reason # 1. I bought all the linen on sale at Jo-ann's last fall. Each pair only cost about $6 to make. So I am kind of being practical here.
Reason # 2. I am using up my overbearing stash and that has to be a good thing.
Reason # 3. They'll get double usage. They're short trousers this year but next year they'll be long shorts. *Genius*, right?
Reason # 4. Floyd loves them and thinks they are super comfy.(see below)
Reason # 5. Alright I admit that I've run out of reasons. I mean 5 pairs, that is kind of crazy but at least I am a-don't-need-any-more-shorts crazy person.
Oh wait! Here we go, reason # 5. They have cute pockets!!!
OK, I'll get help.
These pants are super cute. My poor little guy has only one pair of pants that I made him from linen, with lots of pockets and he loves them. It probably is just as easy to make a bunch at once and do it assembly line style.

reason #6 could be that you won't have to do laundry quite as often. they are so cute!

They do have cute pockets! They really are great--your Joann's has a much better linen selection than mine. They've been stocking more linen this spring, but they don't have any of that nice green or blue that you have.

You forgot reason 6: they look fantastic! You are indeed a genius!

love love them - i am into making multiples of things, as well. why not, when you find a winner of a pattern, right? and what a supercute pocket, for all his "stuff", i am sure.

I need to do this for my guy too and I even have a bunch of those cute prints. Now I just need to get some linen.
