I've taken to snipping out clothes from magazines, just little things to inspire and to reignite a sewing bug that has been in hibernation for too long. Have you had that happen ?, I know many of you have.
My life just got too busy to sew, I missed it terribly, I'd dust off my table but that was it.
I am hoping that with the holiday's and nowhere in particular to be that I'll start up again.
I am not necessary going to find a pattern for any of this stuff I've cut out, but at least I have some idea of what fabric I like and what things I might make, see I get a little overwhelmed when faced with 100's of patterns.
I came across this picture of this little girl and loved her pants, I loved the carefree nature they inspired. So I took a pattern I had and for some pants, I added some length and also added the elastic at the bottom for the same kind of look, I guess It's a harem pant or a boho pant, i don't know I just know that they turned out just as I wanted them. I have orders from my other two girls and a pair for myself. The fabric I used is a lawn from spotlight, just wish I had bought metres and metres of it.
Lovely photos. Your post makes me think about how little I have sewed - hand sewed patchwork quilts and Christmas stockings are about it. I don't get on well with sewing machines! I go to a wonderful dress maker though, a dress designer really, and we co create clothes I love and wear to bits. Jean
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back and posting again! Pants look lovely - very summery. Happy new year :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever idea to cut out pictures for inspiration later on. Those pants you made look lovely and comfy it's pretty fabric, so light. Wishing you a very Happy New Year. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always clipping things from mags... used to be so precious about them that I would just mark the pages but of course things would go unfound again so now I try and clip as I go. One day i may even find some kind of scrapbook to paste them into... perpetually unorganised that's me hehe.
ReplyDeleteI adore this pants, have been thinking about something similar lately for The Munchkin, but your idea of lengthening and banding rather than doing drop crotches sounds perfect - thanks :)
