Cyan Ink
Cyan a.k.a that color ink cartridge you have to replace in your printer. Printer? What’s that? lol. Who’s still replacing ink cartridges other than me?
Cyan Ink
I think I’ve gone a little overboard with my current stripe addiction but I can’t help it. I made a vow to myself to sew my Spring/Summer makes from my stash. So as you can see, my stash contains lots of stripes. I am currently low on pants and skirts. Honestly I don’t feel as though I make enough bottoms. I initially wanted to make this as a matching top and bottom set but I ran out of fabric. So pants it is.
Alright, can I tell you how much I love these pants? They will be one of a few handmade pieces I’m taking with me for my summer vacation. This Vogue pattern 9319 is VERY EASY (but I struggled with my waistband, it happens okay). You can complete this project as an afternoon sew. Obviously cutting out stripes tacks on a little more time. My trick for stripes is always match your notches before cutting. Okay the waistband was perfect until I got to the back. This pattern has 2 pleats in the back and they threw my stripe matching up a bit. I took the waistband off 3 times. Well on the 3rd try I said if it doesn’t turn up the way I imagined, then it’s just going to have to be good enough. Well it was good enough and I LOVE THEM. I plan on making the shorts soon and I would definitely recommend this pattern for all sewing level.
What do you think about my Cyan stripe pants? Are you rocking more pants or more shorts this season?
