my parents are huge hippies, i mean we belonged to a tofu co-op for a good part of the '90s. combined with the fact that they had my sister abby in the mid-70s one has to imagine they dressed her in some pretty funky stuff.

sort of like these goldenrod cords i recently made a friend's baby.

i landed on this color because these friends are very loyal to the football team in washington, d.c. since i was making the red lil' man flannel i thought these pants would look good with it on game day. (and i don't have a problem with their colors.)

the art museum trousers pattern from oliver + s is so much fun to sew. i love the challenge of the welt pocket and am getting better with each one i do.

not too shabby!

i mean how cute is this butt?!

of course i did lining in polka dots, but boyish grey on grey polka dots.

this fabric as significantly thicker than the fine whale corduroy i used for the last pair but i still used french seams (tips on that here). it was a little tricky, and my sewing machine needed a good cleaning when i was done, but the end result was well worth it.
