What was your inspiration?

I found this beautiful "snowflake-motif" wool fabric and immediately knew I wanted to make pants. I used many of the couture techniques which I learned in Susan Khalje's Craftsy course "The Couture Dress" in sewing these pants.

What are you most proud of?

I'm happy with the fit and the placement of the "snowflakes" in the finished garment.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Using couture techniques helped tremendously with the successful outcome of this project!
