I lost my “sew-jo” for a while, but now I’m back. I’m still working on the pants I started a couple of weeks ago (Simplicity 2860). There’s nothing wrong with the pattern and it’s not difficult, I just suffered from a lack of motivation, although I really want them done.
I could really use a pair of non-jean pants! I did make a muslin of these and that fit perfectly. I hope that these will fit as well. I say that because I did have to cut the zipper shorter than I had expected.
I’m almost at the stage where I can try these on (later today). My only disappointment (if you want to call it that) is that the material is not as thick as I thought. It’s fine for this time of year, but, I will have to make a pair of pants from some heavier, suit-weight material for the cold weather. But this charcoal gray is one of my favorite colors for something like this in the Fall.
In the meantime, it’s back to the sewing room for me.
Happy sewing everyone!
They look really good so far! I know you'll get your mojo back, we all suffer from the same "sewing sickness" from time to time, LOL! Can't wait to see them completed and on you!
Yes, indeed. Or sometimes taking a nap…LOL!
The best for getting motivation back is going out, visiting friends and it will come back !!!!
These are next in my queue. Can't wait to see how yours turn out!
Thanks Lisa!
Thanks. I'm almost done…
Looking good! Can't wait to see them finished!
