Finished! Denim wide leg pants plus Pin Up Sweater - a most fun outfit.
Are you on the Sew Liberated mailing list? She’s got some
wise thoughts, has Meg. Recently she send out some such thoughts on pants, body
image and weight fluctuation and one of her pearls of wisdom was that one
should have a great, comfortable, well fitting pair of pants in your current
size, one size up, and one size down. I’ve spent the last 12 months waiting for
the rest of my baby weight to shift, and it’s been slow going. A combination of
broken sleep, illness, general mama exhaustion and a reluctance to
significantly cut calories in case it affects my (dwindling) milk supply has
been my excuse/reason (depending on my state of mind). Recently I came to the
conclusion that I (a) didn’t want to buy any more RTW pants, (b) I didn’t want
to make anymore elastic waist pants for a while. I decided some wide leg pants
would be easier to fit than fitted leg and pondered the options out there. The
Persephones look fun for sure, but I don’t like the gaping / pulling that I see
across many…
