Pants-along

I am going to try to keep up with Joanna over at Stardust Shoes in the Pants-along. I got some chocolate twill. Still picking the casing for the waist and the top-stitching thread color. Here are some pics.


Think I'm leaning toward the orange, but (oh ye of little faith) I'm so worried these won't turn out (not because of Joanna's instruction or inspiration just my novice-ness). I hate to waste cute fabric. If these pictures are all wonky once I post, I am sorry. I am not good at getting pictures side by side or anything besides one per post for that matter. This picture ---->
is more indicative of the chocolate color.

I've got some kind of sinus problem going, but I'm taking medicine as the little guy's birthday is drawing near. Mommy can't be sick!

I am so impressed! I so wish I could sew! I hope you share the finished project with us!

You know I'm an orange fan. I want to see the final product...and I'm going to hop over and see what this pants-along is all about!!

mel said...

Oooh! I love her shorts. Though, I won't lie, I am intimidated. Patterns do that to me! :) Did you buy the pattern or make your own from a pair of your shorts?

mel said...

OK, been thinking about this...where are you going to put the orange?

I bought the pattern, but she suggests using both the pattern and some pants you own and like. The orange is just for the inside drawstring casing (I think). So it would only be seen by me when putting them on and taking off. I know I'm a bit OCD (ok more than a bit).

OCD nothing! Fabric and be expensive and nevermind that once you find something you like you might not be able to find it again!! :)

Wonder if you could line your pockets with the orange too? Hmmm...

K said...

Exactly what I was thinking, maybe have a little of the orange peeking out of the top of the back pockets?
Seriously, were we separated at birth? I always think, what if I can't find this fabric again?!?
