Sewing Challenge Day 2 & 3

Day 2: sewing the pants up until the waistband. Day 3 - the waistband. Yes it took a whole hour to sew one elasticated waistband. Actually only about 5 minutes was productive sewing. The rest was taking up with breaking a needle (zig zag and zipper foot are alliterative, but apparently that's all they should have in common), unpicking, measuring, unpicking, chopping and scowling. Maybe there was more than scowling going on.

Anyway, these pants are from Ottobre 3/2008 #3. I've converted them to inset pockets, and an attached elastic waistband, and have made this pattern several times now.

Here she is with big sister, trying to prove that they're crazy. Big sister is modelling a mockingbird nightgown from 06/2009.

  1. Very cute!

    In a fight between zig zag stitches and a zipper foot the zipper foot's going to win every time! =( My sewing time has been taken up with such things many times!
