Green Lander Pants

                                                             

These pants were finished near the end of the school year in May. I used my TNT Lander Pant, size 12, from True Bias Patterns. The fabric was donated and there was not enough for full length trousers, so I hemmed them at a capri lenth. I think the fabric is a lightweight denim with no stretch, but it should hold up very well over the years. The buttons, which somehow matched perfectly, were also donated but not from the same source. I was delighted to find that they coordinated so well coming from different collections. The thread for seams was also donated, but did not match the fabric and button color and then top-stitching thread is a bit lighter so it doesn't disappear into the fabric. 

I photographed these pants during the course of one day in May. There are pics from school, from my walk at the forest preserve after work, and at a baseball game.

Love having those big front pockets

Elastic in back waistband

Another hack I made to the pants was to put some elastic in the back of the waistband. I used the tutorial from Lladybird as guidance for how to complete that modification.

Could have been twins. When I stopped at my nephew's baseball game after work, my brother and I realized we were both sporting the purple/green outfits.
