Hi Fam! Its me again!
Ugh since I am still having the vein issue I need to make more and more of my clothes.. Why because I can fit myself better than purchasing garments and altering.
So I made myself some cute drawstring Seersucker Red Pants!
How funny many years ago this was consider “candy stripe” fabric and now its cool to wear!
Forget what you heard I like them! The fabric is literally care free and extremely easy to sew! I made these pants in about two hours. Would be less if I had better practice with my new serger!
I did something a bit funky with the serger thread.. used two different colors because I knew I would cuff them. Plus I made a little longer for more cuff depth.
