So then a month and a half passed without a single post. I've been quite unproductive but that isn't to say I've done nothing.
About three weeks ago I saw some interesting looking pants called Thai fisherman pants. They looked pretty comfy and relatively easy to make. So I looked online to find some patterns, went down to the fabric store and got to work.
Pair of pants #1 was a failure. The idea behind the fisherman pants is that they are one size fits all. So my small girlfriend Oz and I each planned to make a pair. She finished her pants the day after we started and they fit her great. That should have been my first impression something was wrong with mine. After an hour or so my pants were nearly done and they didn't come anywhere close to fitting properly. I abandoned them to Oz and she finished up the hems and waist tie. It also fit her quite well.
A day later with more fabric and armed with a new pattern, I started work on another pair of pants. Made the pattern, cut the fabric, sewed it together and rejoiced! It fit much nicer. Hemmed the pants all the way up to the knee and my fisherman pants became fisherman shorts.
(pictures of both to be posted later today)
Hopefully this weekend I'll get back to work on that violin...
