#ora lin patterns

If you want to try sewing pants in a way that's casual, but still a step up from pajama pants, I CANNOT recommend the Ora Lin Pirate Pants pattern highly enough. (I say, in the midst of sewing my 5th, 6th, and 7th pairs.)

Do you know that thing where you're feeling like crap but the productivity demons won't let you rest?

I finally worked on the mock up I cut out at the start of November and sort of lost track of after assembling the skirt. Will this backfire on me? Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Pirate pants! Pattern by Ora Lin, the only change is a flat ass adjustment, sewn up in gray chambray with French seams and embroidery motifs from emblibrary.com.

All around a delightfully quick, satisfying, unfussy sew! I think it took me maybe 10-12 hours from cutting the pattern pieces out of the paper to wearable garment, and that's not accounting for breaks for means and like, some general dicking around. Would have been MUCH faster if I hadn't taken time to buy embroidery designs, tweak them, and run them.

In future I may add a few extra inches of length so they'll serve as full length pants if desired. As is they hit like, high ankle on me. (They're designed to be cropped, and worn tied to knee length, but I'm shorter than the pattern was designed for.)
