What was your inspiration?
A very active daughter who needed some extra coverage under her favorite skirts. The first pair I made from a white linen window valance with a simple edging. They went with EVERYTHING and we quickly became addicted to bloomers!
What are you most proud of?
How simple these are and how quickly they go together. I'm also proud of the nice fit with the flat front so that they look good at the top and not too full and bunchy.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
This is a great beginner project.
