Pattern Emporium Walk Boldly wide leg pants<\/a>, size AU 10, midrise, short length, jeans pockets, small extension to front and back crotch, 2 yards caramel poly\/spandex daisy jacquard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought some caramel daisy jacquard fabric on clearance a couple of years ago, and it has been sitting in my stash with an uncertain future. It’s a mid-weight 250 gsm poly\/spandex that feels smooth on the back. The daisies are soft and look like a towel. Last summer, I saw another sewist use a similar fabric in green to make a pair of Pattern Emporium Walk Boldly pants<\/a>, and I decided I should do the same. After my flurry of brownish sewing projects<\/a>, I decided it was time to sew the caramel pants before I take the brown thread out of my serger. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made lots of Urban Boldly mashups<\/a> with a yoga waistband, but it’s been a while since I made a genuine unmashed pair of Walk Boldlys<\/a> with an elastic waistband. I think last time I made them I used the high rise, but I realized that although I like high-rise pants, this high-rise is too high on me since it doesn’t come in a petite size. So this time I went with the mid-rise, short length size AU 10. I made only one small alteration to the pattern, extending the front and back crotch by about half an inch. I added clear elastic to the pocket openings before understitching to reduce drooping. I serged the bottoms, turned it under 1.75 inch, pressed, and sewed in place with a shallow zigzag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pants were easy and quick to sew, and a lot of fun to wear. I’m modeling them here with a PE Sweet Cheeks sweater<\/a>, which is the Walk Boldly’s BFF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went outside with my photographer to do a photo shoot and noticed I was going to be photobombed by the construction vehicles parked up and down my street as part of a never-ending water pipe replacement project that has turned my street into an obstacle course. So I suggested to my photographer that we use the construction vehicles as a backdrop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
