A gorgeous Friday afternoon...and even better, as I finished a pair of pants for Camden - the Ben and Mia pants by Lily Bird Studio. I'm not sure when, exactly, I purchased this pdf pattern, but when I realized I had next to no tracing paper left - and needed to sew SOMEthing, I found this in my files.
That fuzzy was invisible when I was taking photos, LOL |
Sorry about the strap sloppiness, LOL |
Because I was in the zone of "let's get 'er done," I am glad I had buttons on hand for the button tabs - though I know (I promise I do!) that bigger buttons would look nicer on the tabs. But hey - let's just say I was awesome for using something within my stash.
In keeping with the theme of not truly loving these pants, I left the flat piping wide, rather than bringing it in....and I left the piping on the back pockets, though I am NOT kidding myself that it looks good. I know there is a trick for not putting it all the way up to the corner before attaching the lining and outer pocket piece together, but I didn't want to rip out and think on it. We'll just say it gives the back a splash of color and be done with it. Also, I will say the back pocket piece itself is rather large for a small person.
That is some insanely wide piping - oops |
Also, Matt is building a tiny chair for camden. He is planing down the fiddle wood here.
Matt wants me to mention he has no good working bench, so, he has to slave away on his knees |
I love the color! I need to see these pants in person :)
