a sneak peak

[robinsnest]

I'm not sure what it says about me that I handed Rob a pair of fall front pants and he just puts them on without any thinking required....

I've been dying of consumption (ie cough cold) for the last week and I am SO ready to be over it. Today I finally felt a solid 75% and was off. I spent a lot of the day on the couch doing hand finishing on Rob's trousers. Hello HIDEOUS buttonholes. Should have just sucked it up and done them by machine.




The buttons are covered nickles, one of which Ellie was chewing on so it's nice and slimy.

Your plaid matching is absolutely revolting. ;) Now write yourself a blog post so when you make these again you remember which parts were a pain in the ass...

He's going to make a terribly spiffy Mr Topper! Seriously, I'm always impressed when you make pants, because pants suck.

On my goodness, those are glorious!!!

And good job on the pattern matching the plaid. I know what a chore that can be.

Covered nickels, huh, that is clever. Do you keep scrap fabric for when the coin wears through? Does the weight pull oddly?

I do always save fabric but haven't had any wear through and this is my third time using the coin trick. And no they don't seem to pull especially.
