Strawberry Pants

 Making pants for me has always scared me to death. I attempted once a few years ago but it didn't end well. I have been wanting to make more of my clothes and since I wear pants quite frequently I decided it was about time I gave it a go again. I am so glad I did. This was one of those projects I started one day and was able to wear them the next. I'm not kidding. It was fast and easy. 

I used Simplicity 3850.

These pants have a lower rise, great pockets and a nice, strait leg. The instructions are well written, clear and I definitely feel like I ended up with pants that looked similar to the package.

I used a strawberry colored canvas that I bought at the thrift store a few months ago. I knew immediately that I wanted to make pants out of it but it took a while to get up the guts to make it happen.

 I like the flap pockets in the back and the fit is perfect. I will be wearing these a lot and will probably be making another pair quite soon. When it gets warmer I want to make a pair of knee length shorts using this pattern.

After I have a successful sewing project I have this major high. I get so excited and can't wait to jump into the next project. I love that high. I'm going to call it sewers high. It gives me so much confidence to try something new. This is why I sew.
