remember the light blue fleece pants i made last year for my pops? well, he never wears them... ever. (in fact, i wore them when i was home for my acl surgery!) not acceptable. i found a source for $4.99 new fleece blankets (xl twin size, so LOTS of fabric) and decided it was time that i master a pair of fleece pants that he'd actually wear. so what'd i do? i traced a pattern from his current fav pair of sweats and then made these:
check out the double stitching at the waistband!! SEWN WITH A TWIN NEEDLE! ahhhhhh!!!!!! i've finally mastered the sucker. it was a breeze. not sure what i was so scared of! i sewed a ribbon on the back of the waistband so dad knows which is the front and back easily.
like my "russian navy by opi" nails? thought it'd be a nice coincidence to document (navy nails while sewing navy pants)! dad likes his sweats to have cinched legs: "so my legs aren't cold while i run," he claims. alright dad, i'll make you cinched fleece pant legs. with twin needles again of course!
coolest part of a twin needle? you sew with 2 stacked spools of thread! so awkward looking, but so cool!
verdict? he loves them. he's now plotting the next color of fleece pants for me to make. i'm now using the rest of the blanket to make him a navy fleece jacket. hahahhaha. and the scraps to make a winter hat. should i make navy fleece gloves too? hehehe.
oh, yeah, that's a little pink bunny sticker on my sewing machine. yup, a bunny sticker.
