I've never sucessfully completed a pair of pants, let alone a zippered front fly - so I figured I'd challenge myself and do a pair of jeans. If I'm going to test myself I might as well go with the scariest sewing thing I can think of (besides BWOF- so cute, so evil).
I've been trying to research pants fit, Pati Palmer's 'Pants for Real People' seems like my best option. For some reason every fracking bookstore in the metro detroit area/burbs is OUT! Even Borders has this book on BACK ORDER. Each and every library in a 25min radius is OUT! I even had my younger brother look at his local library. It was there! but he's too lazy to go pick it up for me...lmao
I'll have to settle for all the online blogging and tests to get it right.
*Mrs. Palmer please make your books available for immediate download on ITunes. If they are a godsend and are flying of bookshelves, I want to read them NOW.
now for pictures of the first day of progress.....
