Hey crafty bunch!
So alas I’ve been bed ridden for most of the last month and a bit, uuuurgh, agonisingly torturous bout of sciatica Suffice to say I couldn’t sew, and whilst I had this project ready to post I couldn’t sit at my computer, even if my brain was clear enough to create words, which it wasn’t!!
Fast forward through a trip to A&E (ER), lots of meds, and physio appointments and yey, I can sit, and sew, and make words, and just about walk again!!
So here’s the last thing I made before my convalescence! Named Cannop-pee Pants by Mr Loops, the reason [I’m assuming] being that some of the photos were taken on a walk at Cannop Ponds, and Cannop sounds like canopy… so cannop-pee… I think??!
You know I love a plaid pattern, I have a looooot of plaid fabric waiting to be used And I also love comfort, so these trousers are a comfy jog pants pattern (Yoggers by Petite Stitchery - free pattern btw) without the bands at the bottom, and in a nice stretch ponte, and I think they look pretty smart tbh!
I did make a little amendment to the pattern (as usual) as my waist and hips are preeeetty much the same size so without amendment most [bottoms] patterns look like the old puffy style jodhpurs on me!!
The aforementioned Cannop Ponds… here’s one of the “ponds”
And one of the ducks…
Anyways, back to the trousers… oh actually I’m a bit short of any more information tbh. I did wear them to A&E though, they were as comfy as expected, not that I cared whilst I was rocking back and forth crying, lol. I can laugh about it now I’m feeling much better… kind of anyways…
Oh and I did also make the top, albeit a few years ago. The fabric actually has rather rude words hidden amongst the roses if you zoom in…
If you managed to get through all that, thanks for reading!!
