Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

After several weeks of mockups and tweaks, I've finally made it to a finished mockup that I'm happy with!

I've shared a little post outlining some of the changes made to my pattern since the last update a few weeks ago, and soon, I'll be able to make a few new pairs of pajama pants!

From there, I can't wait to continue working on mockups of a more fitted pants pattern so I can finally wear clothes that actually fit me!

In the meantime, check out the Fibre Arts blog for more details on my mockup journey!

Fuck it, I'm manually torrenting these pants.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!

This week on the Fibre Arts Blog, I'm taking the first step forward on one of my most important seasonal goals; drafting a custom pants pattern.

Since I need both pants and shorts (I'm running out of clothes) I decided to start with shorts. I assume it will be easier to fit the waist/hip/rise without the pant legs adding extra fabric, weight, and direction into the equation. Then, once I have a shorts pattern, I can add length to the legs and start messing around with actually fitting pants.

But for now, we are thinking about shorts!

Hello Friends and Happy (no longer) Tuesday!

This week, I had some things come up in the afternoon that prevented me from posting on Tuesday as I usually do, but I had most of the post already drafted, so I'm sharing it on a Wednesday instead!

After mathing my way through a pattern draft last week, I brought that draft to life in mockup form and have been working through alterations to get the fit of this pattern exactly how I want it!

I tracked each change made to the pattern and, this week, shared the slow process of altering and adjusting the pattern!

Check out the Fibre Arts blog to read more about my process and changes, and as always, I'm open to suggestions for how to make this draft even better!
