Finally FINALLY we have internet access at home!! What should have been 7-10 days turned into 2 and a half weeks due to an error with the phone company giving us a new number then deciding they needed to change it when the internet transfer was halfway done. I was able to check my emails on my phone or at work but started to feel a little antsy after a week or so. Not being able to check my bank account or what time the next train is or just look something up just showed how dependent we have become on the internet. I've been wanting to post on my blog, check Wardrobe Refashion and work on BurdaStyle stuff. Kev has had serious withdrawal, he turned into a grump, complaining of the lack of internet and would disappear off to the internet cafe down the street at any given opportunity to check his Ebay auctions.
Anyway, we're pretty much settled into our new place after a very stressful few weeks. I have my sewing room unpacked and have managed to do some sewing. Last night i made up a pair of harem pants using McCalls pattern 5858. I'd seen Sandramary's version on BurdaStyle and bought the pattern the next day. I wasn't too sure about the whole baggy MC Hammer style so I decided to make them from stash fabric to see how they turned out.
So rather than this:
They turned out like this:
I made version B in size 8 and added just less than an inch to the side seams and they fit perfectly. The only thing I'd change is the bagginess around the bum, a little too much in my opinion but they are oh so comfy!!!
Oh and just to show you how baggy they are.........
Lisa and I were crying laughing after this. ;)
It's good to be back.xx
