Look! I just made some pants by hand!

[Heddi]

they're loungey scrub pants. I got a sewing machine a few months ago, have no idea what I'm doing and basically fucking around with it.

Tonight I decided to make my husband some scrub/loungey pants with some fabric I got for a buck at Ikea.

Whatddya think?

[vanlassie]

1. Good job! Quite a "Look!"

[Heddi]

2. I agree they are very eye-catching

I can't pass up $1 for 3 yards of fabric, even if it is from Ikea and hideous

[NYC_SKP]

3. Love them! And I enjoy sewing, too.

Years ago I found an old treadle operated Singer like my grandmother taught me to use.

And I still use it but I haven't made anything as remarkable as those pants!

[Heddi]

6. those pants are the first real thing I've made

I made a sewing machine cover, and a felt quilt, but the pants are real.

and they're hideous

and I love them

[NYC_SKP]

7. Heh..

When he wears them out to lunch with you, you'll know how much he loves you!

[Heddi]

8. true

I have some fabric left over, not enough for a shirt, but I can cut out some of the eyes and make a purse or something

[NYC_SKP]

9. And if people stare at him down there...

....he can say, "Hey, my eyes are up here!"

[Heddi]

10. Hey my eyes are up here

and over here
and there's one there
oops...don't look at that one there, or there..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Has he seen them yet, my dear Heddi?

I think they're great!

I hope he likes them, and will wear them!

[Heddi]

5. He's at work so I sent him a picture

he's a nurse, too, but I assured him I didn't expect him to wear these to work

I like them, too!

[PoliticAverse]

11. Eye think I know why the fabric was only a buck. n/t

[vanlassie]

13. Heddi is an excellent pupil in sewing class.

[Solly Mack]

12. The 'eyes' have it.

I think they're cool. Original and made with love. Can't get much better than that.

[mockmonkey]

14. scrubs?

So he can wear them in the ICU?

[surrealAmerican]

15. I like them.

If you sew a tab of fabric on each end of that drawstring, it will keep the ends from fraying and save you a lot of restringing.

[eShirl]

16. like some kind of fucked Japanese horror anime

I know I'm being redundant
