White bubble

 Bubble pants that is. Totally not historical, however, it uses one or two things I learned from making and wearing historical clothes... (Come to think of it, the thought of a series about that - what I learned from making and wearing historical clothes- is on my mind for a while, though I have no idea, if anyone would be interested in it. I thought historybounding would be interesting, but then, hardly anyone saw that post).

Anyhow, back to these white pair.

I've sewn this 4 times before (even posted about three of them: here, and here, and here), and I still love it and have plans for more. (Who knows, how much of an ADHD trait is that if I like a piece of clothing, I want it in mulitples, possibly every color).

They are white, and I never made a secret of the fact, that as much as I love color and colorful stuff, I also love white. So much so, that I came to the conclusion, that it is utterly unnecessary for me to get any other color for summer clothes, as when I dress up, I always reach for the white.

Also I also tend to wear white when/ where most people tend to wear black - in concerts, especially the concerts of one particular band. Even in winter, if I have jeans on because of the cold, my top is always white. 

So getting a pair of white of this pattern I made for myself was -kind of inevitable. 

The thing is with storebought stuff, that - at least for me- so often they are "almost", but/or/and "not quite".

Like the neckline is just a bit to high, the skirt is just a bit to short...

And the pants, that have kind-of wide legs, but not really whide enough.

Or they do have pockets, but those pockets are just a bit too small to put a cellphone in. 

If you sew for yourself, you can have as wide legs, as you want. As deep pockets as you want (or as many fabric you have left).

And, if you thought, I wouldn't really wear these in an actual concert... here I am, wearing them on December 31st, in situ- in a concert, paired with a very old, wide leather belt of mine.

The thing about that belt is, that I bought it when we first moved to Budapest, when I was about 19-20 years old.  I kept it for its nostalgic value, though I haven't used it for decades, in the last 15 years of because they were way to small.
