Sewing progress

The current project is Dress pants and vest for ds. The pants are Ottobre 2/05 #24 Plus Size Knee Pants lengthened to pant length made in black baby cord. Pants are nearly finished but still require a button or a snap and hemming. Too late to try on for hemming. The vest (Ottobre 6/07 Omni from group downloads) is sitting on the ironing board all ready to go - all interfacing has been applied, ready to make welt pockets. I don't tackle welt pockets at midnight. I would rather do faux-welt pockets, but my son wants real ones!

Leggings (Ottobre 4/08)- I wanted a quick project this afternoon as the kids were home from school, so I cut out dd1 a pair leggings and sewed them up to test the fit. I lowered the front about an inch for an underbelly cut and she likes them.

No photos tonight as its too dark out to take photos of black pants, and the leggings are still being worn!

For a non sewing project I also varnished the new dresser to hold hats, mitts, scarfs and dance shoes near the front door. I stained it last night and it will need sanding and another 2 coats.
