(no subject)

This morning, I finished the third part of my current sewing project — the pockets and side seams. I followed Mama’s instructions on the left side, but I didn’t like having to clip the back seam allowance, so I tried something different on the right. I trimmed another quarter of an inch off the sides, and then (after I attached the pocket) I sewed the front and back together in a three-eighth-inch seam. I like the way it turned out, so I think that’s what I’m going to do when I make the orange and green pants. (And, as an added bonus, I won’t need to add a quarter of an inch to the side seams of my pattern — I’ll just need to subtract it from the waist.)
