My linen\/wool trousers are finished. I traced the pattern from a pair of silk trousers I got in Denmark a couple of years ago, that I really like. They do look a bit silly on this bust, way too small around the waist, so I pinched in a bundle in the back. I think they actually look better on me.<\/p>\n

There is very little fabric wasted in this pattern, almost all of it is folded and sewn down. The remnants that were left, I\u00b4ve used for other small parts like the waist-band.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_0465\"<\/p>\n

I added a couple of metal-beads just because\u2026 for good luck maybe. Although I am not superstitious. The buttons are made from sea-shells.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_0466\"<\/p>\n

At the bottom of the foot, which is quite wide, I\u00b4ve made an opening with a button and a draw-string that can be tided.<\/p>\n

And while I\u00b4m at it, why not throw in the jacket in raw silk. I made this a few years ago, for Miss Saigon. The lining is linen, and the main fabric is raw-silkm that is usually discarded because of it\u00b4s brittle quality. It\u00b4s unbleached, and thereby very sustainable: a cast-away product, and few chemicals used.<\/p>\n

\"_MG_0474\"<\/p>\n

I like the Asian way of tying clothes, instead of using zippers.<\/p>\n

So, these are the basics for my exam tomorrow. Right now it\u00b4s looking very\u2026 muesli! Come back tomorrow and you\u00b4ll see how I\u00b4ve dressed them \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
