MAGAM - January 2014

I haven't sewn for a long time but now I'm excited to get back into it.  I was always telling myself that I wouldn't make any new clothes until I lose weight.  Well guess what!  I haven't lost any weight.  Time to start building up my wardrobe.  I've decided to make a pair of pants (Butterick 3039) out of this dark green suiting material.

    I think this is a good idea - it is best to dress for who you are now - everyone deserves to look their best,no matter what their size or shape. Looking forward to seeing your pants take shape :)

    I just discovered your blog through reading comments on another blog. Welcome to the sewing blog community! Now if I could just spend some quality time getting mine up and running :o. Anyway, I'm on point with you about waiting to lose weight before I start sewing again. Well, I'm running out of clothing options, so I need to get cranking. I have that pattern also, I've made the tunic and the pants. Looking forward to following you.
