Now, they were not too bad, and the back was fabulous if I say so myself, but there was something about the front that reminded one of an old man wearing a catheter and bag. It wasn't the look I'd been aiming for. I could imagine Tim Gunn eyeing them up, tilting his head, putting on the frown and saying "Dianne, I'm worried. Make it work!"
So I took them off my poor wee model, unpicked my front seam, and trimmed where I thought trimming was needed, then I got Doris The Overlocker back on the job and went for take 2. And you know what, it worked! On the second try! And they looked good. No, great! I quickly altered the pattern I'd made, and got it ready to go into proper production for MooAndFlo
This is the wee fella in said trousers - back view because he's not even slightly co-operative when modeling my wares. He'd not stand a chance in Top Model (yes I watch that, too)
It may not sound like much - but to see children in clothes I make is exciting enough, but to see them in trousers I have also designed is Very Exciting Indeed :)
Now I've got to do the patten in other sizes and see how I go, but you know what, I'm inspired, I'm giddy, and can't wait to give it a go!
