It took two days and lots of frustrations with my sewing machine, but I now have a new pair of PJ pants.
I used this pattern
and cut everything out like I was supposed to
Only right side out. Oops!
I set up the sewing machine and sat down to sew.
I had a few problems and asked friends on Plurk for help and discovered that I put my bobbin in backwards. Who knew that something as small as this
Would drive me to drink!
See all those strings, yeah. I quit for the night!
The next day I was off an going with very little problems.
I had never done an inseam before, so the curve threw me a bit
But everything got all sewn up.
I even made my first button holes.
I still need to get some ribbon to put in the pants for a draw string, but they fit great.
What? Did you really expect a picture of me in the pants? Yeah, that's not happening!
