Yay!! I finally found a pant pattern that fits perfectly! I have been searching for YEARS - literally, for a pant pattern that I don't have to alter! Thank you Trudy at Hotpatterns.com. Not only that, but I cut the size based on the measurement chart and lo and behold they actually FIT!!! I know all you sewers know the frustration of the measurement chart not corresponding with the actual size of the garment!
Another first, I never make a pair in muslin, but since I was making a pair of pants I thought I'd save my 'good' fabric for something that's actually going to fit. Other than not remembering how to do a fly with a placket, they went together fairly easy. I'm not quite done, but now I'm excited to sew a pair using the 'real' fabric. Trust me when I say; I don't think I've ever been excited to sew a pair of pants.
My Self Sew September item is: a scarf I made using voile and pom-poms. I made this up thinking I'd wear it during the summer, but it seems to be just perfect for fall instead!
Now off to finish my pants!
Loving the scarf - do you have a close-up photo? You might want to share with your peeps that I'm having a "scarf-off" contest with great prizes - someone might get the bug to make a scarf this fall!
