I finally found some time to sew for myself...
I am now the proud owner of a pair of Amy Butler wide leg lounge pants. I used a vintage sheet I got from a friend of mine. She had it in the back seat of her car - keeping her dog's hair off the back seat. When I jokingly commented on her abuse of vintage linens, she gave it to me. Yippee!
I know I am probably the last person to make these, (I got In Stitches from the library over a year ago) but they were worth the wait. They are really comfy. Though I think if I make another pair I will use elastic instead of a drawstring.
Completely unrelated to sewing, I would like to wish you all a happy Pi day! (3/14) Yeah, I know, I'm a complete geek...

Love the lounge pants! I hope you can spend all day enjoying them : )
I love lounge wear! How lucky to make them out of vintage fabric. Love the flowers!
Great Job. Love that you recycled @ the same time. I saw the Amy Butler lounge pant pattern and thought I've gotta try these, I haven't had a chance to sew any clothing for myself lately. Can't wait to start up again.
Liz! How good it is to see you. My mom is just halfway through a rant about what an amazing person you are to be taking care of two kids, teaching, keeping up a blog, and doing all your amazing hobbies. You are a talented one, for sure.
It's definitely been way too long. So happy that we can maybe keep in touch like this now! Much love.
I'm gonna have to look for that book! I just brought home a bunch of fabric from my grandma this weekend. I love the print on yours!
Love the pants! I can't wait to start sewing for ME!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! And especially for taking the time to comment!
Great pants and I love the material even if it is a sheet!
Pi day, huh? I'm thankful for Pi, so I can measure circles, but I'd rather celebrate "pie" day.
Love those lounge pants. The colors are beautiful.
