Pants

I just made my first pair of pants. These green ones were made in class, using McCall's M4497. I was hesitant on the ruffled bottoms, but the instructor convinced me that learning the technique would be a good idea. She was right.

Mostly, I was too chicken to try the ruffle technique without a cording foot to hold the cording in place to gather the fabric, and I haven't made it to the store to get the new foot, yet. But overall, I'll call the first two pairs of pants a success.
