I can quit sewing these pants any time I want!!! I can!!! Actually…. I may not stop anytime soon… because….
Look at that smile!!! LOOK AT IT. That is a teenager smiling out in the wild. (ok, it’s a park.)
This is a rayon challis from Island Batiks. I’ve also made the main sample for the Ione dress in another Island Batiks rayon challis here. This faux jumpsuit incorporates a Seamwork Gretta tank as the top.
I cut a size 14 for both patterns. The rayon challis sews up great for these patterns. I’d probably not use a cheap rayon challis…you know what I’m talking about? I’ve bought some Big Box store rayon, and it wouldn’t hold up as well. A name brand like Island Batiks is just a tiny bit thicker, washes up nicer, and I’m not afraid will shred in 3 wears, you know?
And yes, I wash and dry everything. Who has time or money for anything else?
She LOVES the pants. She has already requested more pairs. My teen. Requested. More mom-made clothes. That’s a win, people.
Last shot – the rayon doesn’t quite hold the cuff in the pants, so note that if you want cuffs in the View 1 and in rayon, you’re going to have to tack them up. Dearest Daughter prefers the pants down anyway, so I’m not going to sweat it.
Ok, so this is my 3rd SH7 Free Range Pants post. Are you sick of them? What’s the accepted ratio of posting-to-patterns before they get boooorrring?
I love these and her happiness with them. I am really really not allowed to buy new patterns, though this is starting to make me want to break my own rule!
hahahaha, I break that rule all the time!
Fantastic, a big smile from a teenager on mom-made clothes. Mega win, you go mom!
Thank you Kate!
