i've just finished the first pair of pants that are actually nice! oh, there's the small issue of the button, but whatever, blah, it's finally here. appropriately light blue, confy and feminine with a sweet rounded hem, made of light cotton cloth. thanking venus for divine inspiration - look this transit is doing wonders for my couture skills.

later edit: i can't believe it, i've actually managed to put the button right!! actually the buttonhole which, in my experience, is the part where i usually screw up spectacularly for unknown reasons such as forgetting to set the sewing machine right. and i found in the house the kind of button i was visualizing for these pants and i wasn't able to find in the shop - clear, simple, 4-holes button AND it fit the buttonhole i made for the not so perfect button i found at the store.
i feel like an accomplished couturier right now. * terribly satisfied smirk. all i really need is for mom to finish the cute little lacey knit top i asked her for and i'm as pretty as a peach.

what can i say, i value the things i can make myself.
