I've been wanting a light-weight pair of denim pants, and I thought that this pattern by Simplicity would work out nicely.
Turns out, I was right. :-)
I got them finished up this morning; would have been earlier, but I messed up one of the two buttonholes and had to rip it out and re-do. Seems I have a 50% success rate with buttonholes!
I cut out a 14, as I have what my podiatrist calls "muscular" thighs. They fit well in the legs, but I did have to take up quite a bit in the seat and waist.
I also made them ankle-length, (with side vents) not capri, but more Audrey Hepburn. At least that was the vibe I was trying to channel.
You can't see here in the photo, but as I was taking them off, I realized that I hadn't zipped up. This is what happens when I'm in too much of a hurry.... That and bad buttonholes.
'Til next time!
