Toot

Needed trousers so made trousers. First time since not having the little dog to 'help' by sitting on the fabric while they're being made, so there's his pic where he should be. These are Merchant and Mills 'Pegs', barrel shape leg, zip'n'button, only modification was to shorten slightly mid leg. Have made these before but still not a huge fan of m&m patterns, they're a bit form over function in terms of how they do their instructions, and a bit shonky on things like inside seam finish.

Next up is Paper Theory's 'Olya' shirt, which is apparently 'advanced'. Am preparing for copious swearing. I have some beautiful olive and darker green thick striped linen, so of course will mess it up and no I will not make a toile who even does that. Paper Theory make the best patterns tho, she is one clever human in her pattern design skillz. And she's pro-french-seaming so says when can do that on a pattern, which is great if you want things to last and not have horrid overlocking.

@seventeenmagpie thanks... in reality they're the sort of stripe that fries your eyes, makes cameras flicker, and probably induces migraines in people inclined towards them. Am not sure it was a wise choice but as long as I never look down it's ok.
