I worked as a gardener one summer and let me throw some ideas your way. Waterproof knee pads would be amazing! And consider overalls - no hiking-up-your-pants-every-time-you-stand necessary. I've actually got a pair of overalls on my want-to-make list for this very reason, but it's more likely I'll be loafing in them.

Yes! I love overalls. I have 4 pairs! I was thinking of using a water resistant nylon fabric, maybe.

I currently have bruises all over my knees, so it seems like a great idea right now. Ouch!

Well, I don’t know how you find the energy and time to put this together every week, but I continue to enjoy it all.

I actually save all my not so great pants projects for gardening! Those French gardening clothes look like what I’d wear out for dinner! But I do agree about the overalls. That’s why I made mine, ‘cause I got tired of pulling my pants up all the time after I bend over, esp with muddy hands. The real problem is, my sewing of special gardening clothes would take up all the time I’m supposed to be gardening.

Gardening clothing sounds WONDERFUL!!! I'm in for learning to sew them too!
