What was your inspiration?

If you have been following me, you will already know this, but my real inspiration is to make a nice wardrobe for myself. I haven't had any new clothes for many years, so I am thinking it is time for me to have some :-)

What are you most proud of?

I am most proud that I was able to put these together quite quickly and without any issues and also that they actually fit me - very nicely, I might add :-)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Like I keep saying, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Take the pattern and make it your own. You won't be sorry that you did :-)

Thank you mishoga. To modify, just use a pencil to draw the lines out to where you want them to be. Make sure your pattern is put together first though.

Great work and bell bottoms are very figure flattering!

Ahhhh, Love these! What a great job. Bell bottoms should never go out of style as far as I'm concerned.
