As if sewing pants for the first time wasn\’t a bright enough idea I decided they just HAD to be leather 🙂 … Well overall Im pleased with how they turned out … I got the faux leather on sale reg $8.00 yard with 40% off . The pants took about 2 1/2 yards for me. I used a size 12 ( size 4/6 ready to wear clothes) pattern .
I used a Simplicity Amazing Fit pattern …
I think the hardest part for me was sewing the buckles on . They didn\’t turn out perfect but I was able to get a belt through all loops 🙂 So that should count for something right ? 🙂
Oh! I made the shirt also . AGAIN I had to choose the hardest material ever to work with! I used a sheer polka dot fabric that i found off the \”remnant \” table at Hancock Fabric.
I used a Butterick shirt pattern that I had for a while…
The only difficult part about the shirt was the material . It was so lightweight that I had to make sure that the machine wouldst bunch it .I made a few changes to the pattern ; I took away the pockets in the front and lengthen my arms about 2 inches to make sure that it didn\’t fall to short on my arms .
You did an awesome job!!
