I made these for project 2 of Nikkishell’s sewalong, Janina. I am quite happy with the result, they are perhaps a bit wide though the hips but I have recently lost some weight due to breast feeding/vomiting bug and expect to put it back on so they may fit better then.
Light weight, stone coloured picket cotton.
Burdastyle for pattern.
Husband for photos!

Those are fab pants! Beautiful topstitching too. Just the right width down the leg without being oversized in the hip.

These look FABULOUS! I just cut out and taped together this pattern last night, though I’ve got to do a blouse first. I’m doing mine in navy pinstripe, which is more appropriate for Fall here. :)
