sunday sewing

i have been wanting to try making pants for awhile. . . and decided that i would try this morning.   it was just me and the amy butler, 'In Stitches' book. . . which, i had resisted buying for about 3 weeks now, feeling that i could figure out the pants on my own.   but, after rifling through the pattern catalogues and trying to read about it on-line, decided, it was just better to pay amy butler her money and use her pattern.  

this is not the best photo . . . but it was the best that i could do.  .  .

 

the fabric was a gift from a friend, who sent it to me from michigan. . .
