Pants and failure

I grew out of most of my pants when I joined cheer

Three years ago...

And I only just started addressing the issue. 

So I found some scrap fabric and sims old skinny jeans and went to work! 

The outside seams were unpicked and I left the hem. 

Because I'm lazy~ 

This is what I had after unpicking the outer seams on both legs and laying it out flat. 

Then I took my DREAMY scrap fabric, courtesy of my sister, and made panels the length of my legs.

And since my pants were already hemmed I hemmed my panels as well.

Look at how nice that hem is!

I stiched them in and felt a hunger to do more! So I decided to try to add pocket depth! 

It was confusing and a pain in the butt. I made a little pouch and I stitched that into the existing pouch. 

Unfortunately this wasn't as simple of a project as I thought it would be. 

And they certainly didn't turn out like I hoped they would!

They are baggy in places now...and the butt aria is still too small. It should be a smidge longer to fit over my buns.

 But the pocket was a success! 

I guess I can fix this but right now I'm suuuper tired. 

Till next time crafty cats.

I've got magic to do

Just for you~

My lovely friend Paula invited me out to see pippin and I knew just what I was going to wear! 

I just had to fix it first! 

This sweater is from goodwill, another lovely friend saw it and thought of me. 

Well... She thought of my rabbit 

As much as I ADORE this sweater I never really wear it. It's just so...pizzazzey. 

Don't  get me wrong I love a grand finale as much as the next guy. 

But I wasn't ready to take the leap with all this glitz. 

I've already found my corner of the sky~

(punny Gif)

So I unpicked the stitches on half the gems 

Such {glory!!} ;) 

So far that's 4 pippin references ;) 

It was a Great show! And I wore a great sweater.

And just in case you haven't seen the show, or caught my puns~

 ~here's just the opening number.

From Grandma's closet to the Film roll.

My Grandma donated an outfit to my costuming efforts and I'm quite excited for this Re-Fashion costume! 

The money piece of this outfit is the skirt.

The velvet shows up on camera nice and I'm honestly considering this skirt for the leading lady in my project. 

What do you think Rebecca? 

There's a shirt that will be turned into a under-corset peasant shirt. 

I'm thinking maybe with green? Or creme? Perhaps pink? Who knows what the future holds! 

Also this vest was also in the pile... 

well...

The buttons are nice....

I guess you could say this vest had a silver lining!

And Speaking of Pants...

Doesn't everyone have a favorite pair of pants? 

maybe they're well worn and fuzzy feeling on the outsides, or stretchy in all the right places.

interesting knee details or fun pockets perfect for your day to day life. 

I have a few favorite, and on my oddest pair the button ripped off...

I found this pair at goodwill fresh man year and fell head over heals in love.

I don't know what it is about those useless over decorated pockets and oddly placed seems that made me swoon~

But oh do they make me swoon!

This hole was a big one, so I needed to darn it before attaching any thing to it. 

Or risk the chance of making it worse.

and then all that was left to do was choose a button.

It was a harder choice than you would think..

But I finally made up my mind!

Only to discover that during the three months these pants were sitting in my project bin I grew two pants sizes.

Know anyone size six who wants over-detailed, low-rise, flare-legs?
