Iris requested winter-weight knit pants in dark go-with-everything colors. I dutifully bought some gorgeous black cotton/lycra stretch fleece. Because I was tired of seeing her wear leggings everywhere, I tried to steer her to some looser-fitting pants. She told me she likes pockets; the top one has them.
She called them Hammer pants. No, they aren't. If they were Hammer pants, they would have a dropped crotch.
Besides, it is too late. I already cut and sewed the pants using the slimmer
Simplicity 2061. To make them slimmer still, I cut one size down from her measurement size.
I photographed them side by side with leggings made from her TNT
Kwik Sew 3476. The crotch depths are similar, but the leggings sit higher--nearly to the waist--while Simplicity 2061 sits 1.5" below the waist.
I also repaired a torn section of her blue denim skirt. I am not sure if I previously blogged about them, but it is also made from recycled shirts and a small length of lightweight denim. I made it to replace
this outgrown skirt.
In 2015, Iris got 3 things, to my 0. She'd better be appreciative.
