Here we go. . .

After living the life of a lurker (oh yes, I've been hanging around, reading all about your life, and NOT commenting) I've decided to start some blabbering of my own. Today I joined the In Stitches Sew Along group. I love all things Amy Butler, so when I stumbled upon this group, I had to join. Each month Kelli and Finny pick a new project from the book, adding their own twist, and people complete it and post their pictures. It's pretty cool to see one pattern played out in so many different ways. April's project was the Wide Leg Lounge pants. Wide legs indeed! These babies were made from a lime and white seersucker, the only fabric I had enough of in my stash. (2 3/4 yards!) I think it was originally purchased to make some cutesy matching outfits for the kids, but now, we have some comfy lounge pants. The kids could probably fit in there with me, so don't feel sorry for them. The trim is made of this super cute seersucker with little orange and lime flowers. Yummy. And the little applique flower is orange and white. . . say it with me now. . . seersucker. All in all, a quick and useful little project. Now if I just had something to put in that glass. . .
