WIP Wednesday: Navy Pants

I’m nearly done with sewing these Simplicity 1696 pants, but I’m having fit issues with the rear rise. My favorite part so far is these slash pockets!

I might not be done with sewing these pants but Magi seems to like them just fine.

WIP Wednesday – Mom’s Pants

My current project os these grey slacks I’m making for my mom. She was complaining about how she can’t find pants that fit so while she was visiting we fitted a muslin and I sewed up these pants for her. I’m not sure I’ve ever made pants before!  So I am super proud of making my zipper placket!  They are actually 90% done.  They just need a hem and the button/buttonhole added, which my Mom will do since she took them back to NJ with her.

WIP Wednesday – Vogue 8787

I’m working on my second Vogue 8787 dress.  Thankfully I did most of the body adjustments on the first one, but this is a thinner knit so I’m finding I may need to make the armscye deeper.  I also added side pockets but they are distorting the side seams so I need to rethink them.
