Things I've Made: Satifying Sewing Edition

It's true, I still lurk around here! I try to comment on people's entries when appropriate, but I've never been a big poster. I hope you all are well, those who don't post frequently.

OH MY GOD THE SEXY BLOOMERS

I MUST make a pair or seven.

[grrillaesthete]

RIGHT?! They are totally easy, just make sure your channels for the elastic are wide enough. I moved the ties on the legs to the sides so I didn't have to sew buttonholes. Not exaggerating, a 2 or 3 hour project, tops.

And that was even with doing french seams on all the closures!

The pattern is FREE! Just click through! The XL (which is what I made) would have fit about 1.5 of me before I put the elastic in.

I was so stoked when PJ said he was getting married, because I thought it would mean a trip to Chicago. Obviously not though. :/ Boring Guy wants to come out too, perhaps next year. Sort of depends on if we move to NY or what shakes out in life.

GET OUT TO CA! I can do SF anytime!

OH! Everything looks so great! Those bloomers are super adorable. My friend made them a couple years ago and added lace to the butt to make them even more precious.

I can't wait to see some of your finished projects! I know you are working on that Sith Belle dress, so you know what I mean about satisfying sewing.

That sounds super cute!

Your sewing rocks! It's all magical and shit! I'm not good at that sort of thing and don't have a sewing machine anyway. So impressed :)

I miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need to post something on the LJ soon :)

[grrillaesthete]

HEY LADY! Not magic, but close sometimes.

I miss you too! I hope all the things are good in MN!

Things are interesting here. Let's just say that :) I really need to make out to CA to see you some time :)
