Today I hit the machine again and came up with these fun little pants. I just used a pair of pants Tilly already had (that my sister bought of Etsy a few years back) and traced them as my pattern.
Easy Peasy. Even for me!
And that says something.
I just need to pop the drawstring in the top and they are done! I'm pretty happy with how they have turned out actually. Adam joked that I should make matching pairs for all of us, and then instantly regretted it when he saw my face light up and my eyes glaze over as I pictured us all wearing matching pants.
One should not joke about these things to me - of all people. I tried to make Jenny and Sarah buy matching friendship bracelets in Melbourne. It wasn't cool - apparently.
I am in the middle of making a whole heap of these little beauties at the moment. What a cool and fun idea! And a great way to not only practice my sewing, but at the same time I'm able to use the little scraps that come with the practising.
See, I just used an old towel to make the inside part...perfect for absorbing the heat of hot plates or pots.
This is the reverse side. The wheels have come off here a bit, can you see my circle ain't so circular anymore?? I'm sure the pots won't mind.
Anyway, I'm enjoying these lazy days. The last of 2010. What a better way to spend it than sewing, cooking, making giant indoor cubby houses on 39 degree days. Just perfect after a busy Christmas season!
Oh, how did the Christmas kilos go?? Are we scared??
If you do matching pants do them now, before the kids hit the teens ...I say this from experience as Mum made us all (all four girls, mum, dad and granny) matching madras shorts to wear on holidays. I was 15 and soooo unimpressed. Loads of photos of me looking like I want to kill everyone, all of us in the daggiest shorts possible.
