This was heavily inspired by the vintage Francie outfit Tenterrific. I tried several times to measure the pleats--but felt like making a pleating template was too much trouble--so I ended up pinching the cloth before ironing, so the pleats are not as even as they could be. It's fine.

I do not like sewing this small, but that means I don't have much that fits dolls this small, so sew this small I must, sometimes

Charm Patterns Marilyn Jeans Test Pants are done!!

I have no desire to make these for real at this time. My test pair offered me a lot of fitting challenges that I don’t know where to start with fixing. I broke the cardinal rule of fitting with these by making a long dart right in the front to address some excess fabric because I really wanted a wearable pair. The fit is still not great though. If I magically start feeling better about myself maybe I will take a picture of me wearing them.

These pants have a hidden side zipper construction. You can also see those eye-sore front darts in this picture.

Another cool thing this pattern features is lined cuffs if you want them. I did. I wanted to see how to make them and I bet I’ll do this for lots of pants from now on.

I’m not done with the stitching on this pocket appliqué and I haven’t even started the other pocket’s gun and I’m hating myself and my decisions.

(Also have not been doing homework at all)

(I’m happy with making jeans and not doing my homework even though I enjoy complaining)

My birthday!

Got new hair.

Went to Meow Wolf. Thought it was pretty crowded for a weekday until a friend with kids reminded me it’s spring break. There was lots of new stuff I haven’t seen and I didn’t even make it through the whole thing. Mom can’t do stairs and it was hot in there.

And then my mom told me she went to the sewing and vac store and put a new sewing machine on layaway for me. I’m in complete shock, it’s an expensive machine. I don’t know how to accept a gift like this.

It hailed. In late March.
