I have completed two nice fitting pairs. They are awaiting new tops that I have planned before I wear them. I know that you'd probably like to see me wearing the pants to show the fit rather than a picture of them hanging on a door, but that's all I've got right now. My plan was to make 5 pairs of great fitting pants complete with a variety of matching tops - a complete 5 day wardrobe. Wouldn't that be nice??? That's still the plan, but in the meantime, here's a picture of my progress thus far

I'm currently making a much needed black pair, but I already have this fabric earmarked for my fourth pair. This print definitely means that I am stepping out of my comfort zone, but I've been wanting print pants f-o-r-e-v-e-r. The colors fit perfectly in the vision I have for my "SUMMER BREEZES" wardrobe.
Now it's back to work making the other 3 pair of pants a reality...
I cannot wait to see that fourth pair!
ReplyDeleteThat print is adventure for sure!
DeleteWoohooo! Well fitting pants are hard to make and I'm glad you cracked the code!! Happy for ya!
ReplyDeleteVery time consuming but well worth it.
DeleteFaye, I'm really liking your coloured trousers - they look great, I can't wait to see all of the array of whole finished outfits on you :)!
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to finish my Summer Breezes wardrobe Claire. I'm such a slow sewer but I'm determined to get it done.
DeleteLove all your color and can't wait to see the print pair. Once the fit is down pants are really so quick and easy, well, as long as you leave off things like welt pockets. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Bunny! I've made welt pockets on a jacket before but haven't ventured into adding them to pants.
DeleteTime consuming indeed, but worth every second. I look forward to seeing your finished wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteThose Are Looking Great Faye!! I M Looking Forward To See U In them, N Your Print Pants Too!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Far!
DeleteGorgeous print. You're certainly stepping outside of your comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteYes, stepping out of my comfort zone is a little scary, but I do feel that it is high time that I did.
DeleteGreat pants. It so grate to be able to sew good fitted pants... maybe it would be good idea to enter such class as well?
ReplyDeleteI know right! There are several other self taught classes that I need to sign up for too.
DeleteGreat looking pants Faye! CONGRATULATIONS on your success! This just proves that if you never give uo, you will definitely be rewarded!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Myra, I just had to make up my mind to dedicate the time to them.
DeleteCan't wait to see the fourth pair, the print looks fabulous :) as do the two pairs you've made.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Shelly!
Deletegreat job on the pants, I think the printed ones will turn out fantastic as well!
ReplyDeleteHelen
Yes, I have high hops for the print fabric!
DeleteOh my goodness, I love that fabric! They are going to look sensational!!
ReplyDeleteKeep your fingers crossed for me on these print pants Rhonda!
DeleteGreat work on the pants! And the color also fabulous:)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the addition of bright colors in my closet Hana.
Deleteooh, a whole wardrobe coming soon - great job on the pants !
ReplyDeleteI'm not working on pants OR tees at the moment - there was a piece of fabric on the shelf that was yelling at me for a couple weeks that it was done ageing and needed to be a skirt. So, what was I to do ? LOL
I know Claire, some fabric can scream so loud. Can't wait to see your new skirt.
DeleteThose are some great colors of pants, Faye!!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to debut some trousers sometime this year!! :)
You make marvelous jeans Kyle; I know your trousers will be just as fab!
ReplyDeleteThose coloured pants are going to be something special. And if you really want them, make them - life's too short to have regrets about not wearing a pair of patterned pants! Glad you have managed to get the pants right for your body. Love the bright colourways.
ReplyDeleteI agree Sarah and thank you.
DeleteYour perseverance paid off Faye! I love the colors of those pants and yes...I'd much rather see you wearing them - but I'll wait! I keep saying that I am going to make another pair but have so much I want to get too...I need a plan! Nice work here!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri!
DeleteOh, I love the color scheme of your new summer wardrobe. Good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone to make printed pants. I plan to do the same thing this summer. Haven't found the perfect print yet, but I love yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mushy! I'll be looking in on your blog to see that perfect print when you find it for your pants.
