Two more pairs of pants....





I did it! I cut out two pairs of pants with cuffs, and make two more pairs of pants to go with the Endless Combinations Pattern Review 2008 Contest.... Pants with cuffs, then roll them in, just regular pants!

Endless Combination - Pattern Review....added


Well,
I added an additional pair of pants to the Endless Combination - Pattern Review Contest for 2008.

A pair of dark denim blue jeans with the brown corded cuffs.

Plus, I just realized, that all the cuffed pants, well, the cuff can be turned inward, and thus you have another pant to add to the wardrobe.

Sew, with 5 items that have been sewed so far, that is 16 outfits. The one pair of pants are actually using the cuff instructions, but I had to make the pants longer, because I first used a size 2t, not 3t. So they are actually a pant with an added fabric panel for length.

I also have two pairs of additional pants cut out in large corduroy rose, and large corduroy hunter green (cuffs also....)

Maybe I'll get a chance to sew them up! Miss Grace will stay warm this winter!
