And James is reasonably pleased with them. they have growing room, so I
may not have to make more for a while... He has taken all 4 pairs off
to camp.


However, I do want to try the zippy-off's again, as there are certain
refinements to the pattern that I need to make... He may come home to
an experimental RED pair! :D

Hey he can always wear them around the house to clean and do yard work. ;)
Nobody said he had to wear them out anywhere. Tell him once or twice of
crawling around pulling weeds in the garden and they won't be so bright a
red anymore. ;)

Yeah... And the last lot of weird coloured trousers I made for him
(sort of purplish navy & mid blue camo pattern!) he wore to death! He
has plenty of garden work to do, whith grass mowing, bush clipping and
branch shredding, a path to help build, and rocks to shift... Red
zippy-offs it is! :D And the front and back garden combined are 270
feet long!

Way to go Kate!!!

I took a much needed break from my psychedelic color chaos. The
children and I went to a birthday party/pool party yesterday and had a
blast. Sunday, I spent 3 hours cleaning out the garage...we actually
have space in there now...I'm impressed!! Saturday, the family just
hung out, played in the little pool that we have for the children
(neither knows how to swim yet), and had a water balloon fight.

Those were all more important than sewing.....not that it happens
often <grin>.

Here's a question for you.....The capris I'm making my niece are all
rather plain...darts in front and back, pockets in front. I was
thinking about doing some decorative stitching on the white pair -
using orange, lime, and blue....what do you think about that?? The
stitching would be on the pockets and at the hem of the pants.

photos.yahoo.com/nystitcher1972 has pictures of the plain tangerine
pair of capris so you can see what they look like without any
decoration.

http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?cat=1&type=4&sec=81&startrow=1
that should give you a link to the 1st page of the SImplicity patterns
for girls. The pattern I'm working with is # 3771, which is the
second one in the first row. If you click on that, you can see the
design sketch for the capris, which probably shows the pockets and
such more clearly.

Thanks and congrats!

Larisa

That sounds like fun! :D

We went off to a medieval etc 'event' at Dover castle, joined English
Herritage*, and got James fitted into a suit of armour! :)

I think coloured embroidery and rows of pretty stitching will be
excellent. :) What a nice fun pattern for the young lady. :D
