after the success and rave reviews of the last pair of longjohns, i quickly started on 3 more pairs: long again, calf-length, jammers. they sew up so quickly! the only tweak i made to the pattern was shorting the butt space so that the waistband didn't ride so high. then i stitched up the 3 pairs factory-style. 3 crotch gussets:
the jammers were the most unique and by far the quickest to sew up. turns out, sewing down the length of the leg gets tough when the leg opening is tiny at the ankles. this pair reminded me of the jammers jimmy wore at swim practice in high school.
the back is nice and simple, just a butt seam:
the calf-length is ideal for skiing according to eric: no need to stuff the pant leg in your ski boots!
the 3 pairs remind me of the 3 bears: baby bear, mama bear, papa bear.
the back yard has finally melted enough for us to be able to open the back door. i was intending to let bunks out eventually, on a warmer day, but the little bugger went running out as soon as the door was opened. he hopped right onto the snow!
his big feet served as natural snowshoes, hehe.
happy monkey new year to my asian peeps!
