Speaking from experience with McCall's 3230 wrap pant, keeping the ties clean can become an issue. While I loved the 'wrap' concept, the actual wearing isn't easy; akin to wearing a pantsuit...one must nearly disrobe to use the restroom. I remodeled the concept into an elastic-waist, pull-on pant, stitched the leg down to a more modest length about mid-thigh. Got the same 'look' without the troublesome issues and wind-related gaposis! <br />S in MTSammi357https://www.blogger.com/profile/09909820555868904419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78963417428882445472014-02-16T07:45:35.866-05:002014-02-16T07:45:35.866-05:00Pressing: Another reason for glass head pins!Pressing: Another reason for glass head pins!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-81915727770503334972014-02-16T07:26:27.824-05:002014-02-16T07:26:27.824-05:00Love the fabric!!!!

And D ring for the sash to help with potty time. He's a musician and wanted it for stage, and he learned he had to tie the excess so the D ring didn't slip. That would be major wardrobe malfunction, because those pants drop like a strippers once untied!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703096289021096490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-43130419773903942072014-02-16T05:22:02.147-05:002014-02-16T05:22:02.147-05:00Love your Thai fishermen's pants (love the pri...Love your Thai fishermen's pants (love the print) and the exquisite sewing on your shirt. Bravo. They will look so fine together.<br />If you go to Koos van den Akker's Facebook page (via Marcy Tilton's blog) and scroll down to June 9, 2011 and May 10, 2011 you will see some stunning fishermen's pants.The first ones look like shorts but the legs have been rolled up for a different look. The second set look very exotic because of the fabric. I can hardly wait to make some myself. <br />Thanks<br />BarbaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-78015277044214096592014-02-15T20:25:10.937-05:002014-02-15T20:25:10.937-05:00I love your choice of colors and fabric.

They are Burmese and I remember they would bring them back from their trips. I am very excited about your shirt. How do you get the stitching so close around the cuff? If I did that then I would be sewing completely off the fabric. It is so perfect.Josettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470039217443534947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-27662056861135047772014-02-15T20:21:48.497-05:002014-02-15T20:21:48.497-05:00Perrrffffect placket.
