Whenever I drafted a new pattern or tweaked a commercial pattern to my liking, I always end up making too many garments with different fabrics from them. It's no exception with my recent
self-drafted, elastic waist pants pattern. It's still very cold in our part of the world, so I decided to use some stash wine red corduroy (with a little stretch) and make another pair of skinny pants with it.
It all came together very easily. This corduroy has a little more stretch than the
winter white corduroy I used that time. So the skinny pants are a little loose. No matter! It's comfy and warm and I love the colour. I hope to wear it often until May!

And here is how I'm wearing it in the snow and slush:

They're beautiful - what a nice rich colour! Winter is too long to deny yourself new pants :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. These are the warmest, most comfortable pants in my closet (apart from my ski pants;-).
DeleteThey look fantastic. It makes sound sense to make a few versions of something that works - so much time is invested in getting a pattern to work. And the colour is stunning. Pockets look perfect too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz! I do like this pattern and I think I'll make some more spring pants with this pattern.
