During the summer I like to sleep in a pair of light cotton shorts and a vest top. Recently I tore one pair of shorts and I am finding it hard to find a replacement. No worries I thought, I'll just make myself a new pair. Using a mixture of the skills I got from the trouser making classes in January and the copy your clothes course from 2015, I created a pattern based on my favorite sleeping shorts.
Love this material
I cut it out and started putting it all together, so far so good. But then I added the waist band and this is when it all went wrong. They went from fitting, to being much too small. I know what went wrong. I kinda mixed two designs together without giving the other waist band enough material. So now I have to decide if I should unpick this one and try and save it, or if I should modify the pattern a bit and try again?
Hello. My name is Penny and my Wild Creations blog is all about my creative journey. It might include paper making, bookbinding, knitting, crochet or some other craft that I am/have learnt. But it also covers other things that I put my creative energy to including running, creative writing and UX design.
As you’ll see I like to keep busy.
