That’s a great idea @withloveHeidi and they will be great for afterwards when all is healed as sport track pants that she can put on without yet having to take shoes off. The pattern should be perfect.
I should make some waterproof over pants for my son’s ride to school in winter. Good thinking Heidi (again)

I think a lot of places will ship fabric on the bolt if you order the right quantity. I don’t know about Fabric Mart, however, they do have some chambrays in stock now, one in large quantity, and they’ve got a pyramid sale going so you can get a good discount: http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Chambray/

Joann’s sells stuff by the bolt. I don’t know about chambray. But I bet if you went to a store either JoAnns or even a local place and tell them you wanted to buy a bolt of chambray, they’d order it for you. At Joann’s if there is a weight you like that they already have, you could ask them to order a bolt of that particular one for you.

Thank you all for your support. Your kindness is always so touching. What if I told you that today the doctor called my mother and she needs bypass surgery, and btw, she has an auto immune disorder where she doesn’t quite clot?

If anyone needs me I will be on the couch after taking a valium. J/k about the valium.

Anyway, someone talk some…[Read more]

Stripper pants Heidi?!! :0

I don’t think I see anything wrong, either. Could you rephrase “the top inner corners right sides and mine are sewed” — I’m afraid I don’t understand that part.

I am so sorry, I can’t see the problem.
Does the underarm side seam match up?

I think your fabric choice is the key to that decision.
Both sew up beautifully in a draping fabric (wool, silk) but I think the Late Lunch is a bee’s whisker more flattering in a firmer woven (linen, chambray)

I wonder if the collar doesn’t look a bit snappier in a woven too.

Just my opinion, of course.

Two more.

Here are the photos @dlaviola sent me

Thanks so much for your help, Nicole! I am still floundering between the Late Lunch Tunic and the Cappuccino Tunic (ugh, decisions, decisions). . .THANK YOU!

Also have a pattern-search question: what are you ladies’ favorite men’s button down shirt pattern? I have some gorgeous redwood herringbone RK Shetland flannel I want to sew up for Ben. It’s not something I’ll get around to before this fall, but am wanting some pattern recommendations. Thanks!
