Outfit 71 | Lane Pants
Since being introduced to this pattern last year, I've now made three pairs of Lane Pants, and through the magic of clever pattern design, they all feel uniquely distinct from each other. As the temperature starts to creep up here, my latest version was a pair of shorts, which took a very small amount of pattern modification (I'm dipping my toe in). The tulip-patterned ones were taken to France, making it into luggage is quite the accomplishment for something I've sewn. I have a whole list of projects I want to tackle, but I needed something comfortable to get in the groove and this pattern is it. In addition to sewing I've been crocheting again. I just learned filet crochet and am working on a sword tapestry that I look forward to hanging on the wall. Why not surround myself with things my hands and mind have made.
