What I wore:

Pants: New Look 6035
Sweater: Thrifted, Shirt: Liz Claiborne

I know I should be lashed for these pics but I want to keep up with blogging, during my blah face, not enough hours of daylight time. This actually was a good day, wearing bright colors does help the mood, but it was the end of a long day, I just pulled my hair out of a tight bun, and I was tired...OK, yea, yea, yea.

So about the pants. I actually made these during my winter break (last week of 2011). The fabric is a burgundy-red stretch gabardine from the free stash.

I have been wanting some red pants ever since Candice made hers. I was torn between making them wide or slim leg, but my yardage-on-hand took care of that decision. These are some decent pants! Easy to put together & very comfy with the zipper on the side. The size range is limited from 4-16, but that seems to be the usual with New Look.

I chose size 16 for the waist/hip measurement, I added 2 inches to the inseam length, and added an inch to back rise, which is normal for me with New Look & Simplicity patterns.

I thought the fit would be slimmer, so I'm going to take the leg in some for my next pair.

I have a caramel cut & a royal blue cut on the cutting table now!

Oh and, No Klepto
