Debbie Cook's posts are just incredible when it comes to fit. My pants sloper that I am using now is a much morphed clone of a pair of pants whose fit I loved. I took them apart and used that as my start. I also have decided that at this stage of my life my body is always changing. So it is a continual effort to take the sloper and make it fit anew. I can't wait to post my linen/rayon pants as I really like the fit, no wrinkles, just skims! So you can do this and just have to decide it is something you want to achieve. Just look at it as another sewing challenge. You have certainly handled other sewing challenges beautifully.

My apprehension it two-fold. First, I worry about not being able to make a good job of it and make them fit properly. Second, I worry that I'll make them and feel like a dork if I wear them. I haven't worn any pants but jeans for many years. I think I want some, though, with think being the operative word.Paula Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934076985642320705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-1251030204539367372008-05-03T23:33:00.000-04:002008-05-03T23:33:00.000-04:00Bunny, do you mean your post or your comment?

Lots more to come. I had more phone cleaning up and organizing it. I still have pieces I haven't "cleaned up" and played with yet. There were some nice silk pieces but dry rot set in on them some years back and they have gone on to lace heaven. <BR/>Paula, you can certainly make pants with your abilities. Once you get your sloper worked out you can whip them up in a day. That is if you don't get involved in other "stuff" like I have lately.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672695141031447916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-60452468293693065792008-05-02T23:06:00.000-04:002008-05-02T23:06:00.000-04:00Thank you for sharing the wonderful bits of Irish ...Thank you for sharing the wonderful bits of Irish lace.
