It seems like it’s been forever since I’ve posted a sewing project (probably because I haven’t done any, ha!). Last week Alyx picked out this polka-dot fabric from my stash for a pair of pants. I used the pattern from MADE. This is actually my second pair using Dana’s pattern. The first pair I made out of a black double-knit cotton that made a terrific pair of yoga pants. I wasn’t sure a straight weave would have enough wiggle room for Lu, but these turned out beautifully.
I originally intended to put a ruffle on the bottom, but it just wasn’t working with the fabric, so I slapped on a little polka-dot appliqué instead. I love how it turned out. I do not like, however, that my sewing machine, which badly needs servicing, kept skipping stitches. Dah!
I have already pulled out two more fabrics to whip up a couple additional pairs. Then this little lady will be all set for fall. Yea!
(It looks a little funny in the back because we were just trying them on (now she won’t take them off) and the elastic casing was not finished yet.)
