Life is busy, specially with kids, even but that doesn't stop me for sew... but yes, I haven't write about it.
I wanted something fun for the hot weather I wanted some shorts or Bermuda shorts or Capri pants when I found this Burda Pattern 7050 which I decided to try.
I've being reading about wardrobe capsules which as far as I understand is to have the necessary items for you to survive without buying more and get rid of all the things that truly you never use and will never use.... So after 3 pregnancies in the last 7 years I got rid of a bunch of things that I don't wear, I don't want and I don't love, and try to keep it as simple but fun as I can.
I bought some fabric at Joanns it is supposed to be some kind of elastic denim which is very light for wearing. This is the same fabric I used for my girl leggings (which I really liked and she has wear a lot).
I made a size 38 which fits awesome.
The only changes I made were easy: I didn't put the 5th pocket in the front (the little one) and I didn't finished the bottom of the pants, I just made a regular hem.
The fit is really comfortable and it is a pair of pants which I will use a lot, maybe combined with black as I did here or white or whatever color I had on my mind. I used a Helmut Lang extra large top which I loved but I didn't like it when I saw the pictures... so I decided to wear only a regular top for the pics.
As you can see I didn't iron them... which I had done before the pictures, but really, who irons denim unless they look really wrinkled :P
I used a little embroidery from my sewing machine just to play with it.
I love the 5 pockets, I love the belt loops, these are really comfortable for every activity related with kids, dogs, etc. I recommend this pattern to everyone: simple, easy and a good fit. Definitively I will make another pair soon. Maybe this time in white... but always denim!!!
