And then it wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated!

I have the Clover pattern, as well, and am a bit nervous to cut into it as I've never made pants before. My excuse thus far has been that the weather here in the Pac NW is so crummy right now that wearing cropped pants is not feasible, but I know that will change soon. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-75265833485052827812012-03-31T22:06:24.215-05:002012-03-31T22:06:24.215-05:00Wow I'm impressed.

Makes complete sense to me why it takes a lot of observation to fit clothes. I need to stop being lazy and do that body map.
