It’s a Wrap!

I have not been avoiding the sewing machine. Not exactly.
I take it out. I stare at it. I pace in front of it. Then I walk by it. I pick up something else. Then I come back to it. Stare it down. And continue the cycle again. It was a question of “What to sew” and “How to sew” and I could hear the ghost of my bag-nighty with vulcan sleeves calling, mocking, jesting.
So I went cruising on the internet. I thought, If only I could find something easy… And google again solved my problems.
Voila! Easy Breezy Wrap Pants.
Thank you Laupre for posting your tutorial.
Oh now don’t think that mine look perfect or really anything close to what is posted there. I have crooked seams, uneven legs (though not grossly so) and imperfections throughout. But they fit! They are actually wearable. By Pender standards that is.
They are super comfy and I think I may just make myself a second pair.
Later.

Um, wow, those are something! They look quite reminiscent of fisherman pants that Eric used to wear. Although not in such a vibrant pattern. Where do you find such fabric?

Yeah I think they go by Thai fisherman’s pants as well. Got the fabric given to me by Marc’s gramma. (Thank you by the way, Love it!)

Those pants are a traffic stopper! You could become famous on the island for those bad boys ; )
Very proud of you for diving in! That’s been my mantra these days: no talk, just action. Nothing gained by putting things off and ignoring a scary (will I fail?) but creative impulse. You’re a fantastic role model for tucking into projects and living by DOING. You get a lot DONE Amanda, and it’s inspiring : )

Andrea: I have been saying lately “Indecision is the greatest time waster.”
So with your new mantra, does that mean you’ll get chickens?;)

Thanks for the push!
