I have worn these every single week since making them because I love them so much. They are comfortable but so cute and trendy. I feel dressed up enough to wear them to the store but dressed down enough to be relaxed. I would wear them everyday if I could! I learned from this experience to wait for the good stuff. Don’t impulse buy because it’s on sale. Just wait and get what I love and will wear all the time. It’ll save me money in the long run! It’s not that I don’t love those other sweatshirts, they just aren’t the colorways I would’ve chosen if I was thinking it through.
What fabric are you really crushing on right now?

Hmm. Where did my comment go? I'm not sure. So sorry if this is a double – but I love these pants! I struggle to not just 'cheap out' and buy something I don't 100% love because it's less expensive. It's a bad habit, and then I don't end up wearing whatever I made. Your post is a good reminder to keep fighting that instinct 🙂
Knits, good for undershirts. I have perfected my undershirt pattern, and am now on the look out for good quality knits to make me undershirts with. Also, knits for making my hubby some shirts, just basic t-shirts. He has a hard time finding a shirt he loves in a price he is willing to pay. (He also lost a substantial amount of weight. Yea him!)
I have gotten to the point where I would rather make me and my kids shirts/sweatshirts/dresses than pants. Pants, I haven't gotten brave enough. 🙂 Your pants look gorgeous! And I agree, wait to find the perfect fabric, don't settle. 🙂
