I've had a shocking run lately of making clothes for myself that are just completely unwearable, It knocks me around quite a bit, I start questioning my ability, my body, my intelligence. Sewing directly effects my state of mind, if things are going well, then I am going well, If things are not turning out, or don't fit, then yeah I'm not doing so well, I sew for sanity!
Anyway, I saw this pattern featured somewhere recently, Its a
free download from
Colette Patterns, and it is just gorgeous!! I love the double row of elastic around the waist, the fit is great, they sit low down on the hips, which is super comfy for me. I will be wearing these as pj's, so I made them out of some super soft Japanese cotton that I rescued from the remnants bin at spotlight for $6, (a bit over a metre) The only thing I changed, was using elastic instead of ribbon around the legs, then adding a little bow at the end.
I have a few other completed clothing projects to share, one of which is actually a "wearable" which I made before my run of "unwearable's"!
They are really gorgeous! And they look super comfy too :)
