I was about to post some freshly dyed fiber and yarn today, but they are still drying, so you will have to wait for that unttil Thursday. Until then, let me show you, my new bubble pants.
I have already sewn bubble pants twice, no three times, the first try in purple and then the final version in turqoise, and a black denim version. All of them I dearly love, so I thought, why not make more?
I found some microcord in the fabricstore, in dark, navyblue color, which would go really well to a sweater I was planning. However, for a couple of months I was struggling with a sewing block, I just did not feel, like sewing. AT ALL.
I seems, I might, just might managed to get through it with the the blue cape/cloak, so I thought, why not try something a bit more complicated, but still rather familiar. In the meantime, I was just finishing up said sweater, thus it looked like just the right thing to do.
Since I was concentrating getting through those little inner blocks, I was not shooting pictures, so I can only show you the result.
The same bubble shape, the same buttoned fly.
And here you can see, what I mean, that I have a really short waist, as I cut the front even lower than the last time, so much I only had space for three buttons, and the waistband still covers my belly button,
Since the turqoise pair I made rubbed out between the legs rather fast, I added a patch of cotton velveteen to both leg just below the crotch (you can't see that in these pictures, because I would have stand in a rather vulgar position to show you), but to make it intentional, I made the edge of the front pockets and the cargo pockets from the same fabric,
Back, when I made the pair from black jeans, I cut the elastic in the waist too short, and with this, I am afraid, I was overcompensating... however, it seems, that the rather thight waistline is the secret that it holds my stuff (phones, keys, etc) stabil, because in this one, when I put my phone into the pocket, it drags the pants down. I will have to take off the belt loops, and open up the waitsband, and pull that elastic somewhat thighter.
But it has POCKETS, and deep pockets (I can hardly reach the bottom of it).
I still do not think, this was the last pair I sew with this style, there will be more to come.
Fabric: I Love Textil
