Yummy charcoal Clovers

Greetings from Santa's Sweatshop! Whew! I feel like all I have done for a few days is sew my fingers off to get everything done. It has all turned out well though.

I finally had an opportunity to take a picture of my second pair of Clover pants in the day light. I made these a few days ago and just got too busy to take pictures.


Never mind my weird face. I made this from a charcoal sateen I ordered from Mood. It seems a bit thicker and better quality than the fabric from Joann's I used last time.


My red pair tends to stretch out during the course of the day, so I made my seam allowance a quarter of an inch thicker than last time. It make for a closer fit, so hopefully over the day they won't get too baggy.


Haha! Made you look again. And again, it is a great fit on my rear. Yay!


My assistant is such a picture hog. I had to get a shot of her on the blog or have hell to pay.


You can see a little bit of a bump at the bottom of my invisible zipper. I still haven't got that down, but this pair went smoother than the last pair. I left the length alone and finished the inside with white lace tape this time. I love the lacy insides.

  1. Stacie, these pants look great! I have read lots of good stuff about Colette's Clover pants, but was still on the fence about them. After seeing how well yours turned out, I think I'll give them a try. Thanks for following my blog, too! : ) Happy holidays and keep up the hard work in Santa's Sweatshop!
