I cut these out last Spring but never sewed them up.
Does that make them a UFO?
Maybe! They have sat around for ages really. How long do you need to store a cut out half finished item for it to become a UFO? After all it is still an unfinished object!
The fabric is actually bengaline so it has stretch and so these ought to be comfortable.
I
added a yoke to the waistband because these are made using a yoga pants
pattern and they are low waisted if made in a woven. They come out with
a higher waist if using jersey.
I did similar with my grey (bengaline?) trousers I made a few months ago and they have turned out to be very comfortable and I have enjoyed wearing them.
These will be good for Autumn on nicer days and add a small bit of glamour to my otherwise pretty boring winter wardrobe so far. And of course they are also ok for work which is a bonus.
The grey trousers are trimmed with the selvedge fabric from this brocade so they are quite similar though look very different to each other.
I am hoping this pair is as much as a success as the grey ones. They will update my Autumn wardrobe a bit anyway and this blue almost looks like denim so should be easy to carry off while the fact they are brocade adds a bit of luxury and style.
Thanks for visiting my blog and hope to see you again soon. Have a great week,
Bracken
