pants off, dance off!

Hot off the machine–a pair of pants for MJ! These are done in muslin following an unfortunate mishap with some nice cotton. Note to self–match one front to one back and then do it again. I was very happy to make these in muslin, to tell you the truth! I wanted to try out some new techniques based on tips taken from the gals that hang around Brooklyn General. First off, here they are in all their baby capri glory:
Now for the fun stuff. I used green thread and some decorative stitching to make the muslin less boring.
My ulterior motive for this vine? Tack down the seam allowance. I tacked it towards the back (as per advice given) since the bum is bigger!
And on the inside, since i am the anal retentive seamstress (apparently), I had a go at tucking in my seam allowance at the front and back crotch seam.
Things are a little sketchy with the hem. I forgot to follow the instructions and things got a little sloppy! I think I’ll just sew some nice little dooda on the cuff to distract the eye.
Next up, put pants on baby! And make more with “real” fabric.

Wow! Those pants are so cute!
Very clever clients you have there…
Cute male knitters and smart people who can give you good advice, what more to ask?!
Great little pants!! Those’ll look cute in all the lovely fabrics that BG has to offer!
Such cute pants. And the decorative stitch down the side was a great idea.
Adorable pants - I’d wear them if they were adult size! And maternity size.
adorable vine, and great that it has an ulterior motive. sneaky sewing indeed!
So cute! I have a few neat stitch options with my (very) old sewing machine but I never think to use them. This gives me ideas!
