Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Casual


What was your inspiration?

Practicing garment sewing. Working up to a dress.

This fabric was kind of fugly so I jazzed it up with some goldfish decorative top stitching and a solid color drawstring. Both in bright orange.

What are you most proud of?

I matched the stripes on this pair. And I used a smooth fabric for the drawstring. A flannel drawstring, inside a flannel casing, doesn't slide very well.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Get good quality flannel. The first pair I made was thin flannel. This pair is much nicer since the flannel is thicker and softer.

Good advice on the drawstring. I would have automatically made a matching one! Love the hem details on both pair.

Thanks Jean. :-) I just have to make that dress, for my middle daughter, and I can get back to my quilting.
