I made another pair of Daughter Judy Monty Pants with the final pattern (not the tester version). My vision was a matching shirt and pants and I thought I had enough fabric, but I sure didn’t. But then instead of thinking through if I’d wear voluminous orange-and-black striped pants solo, I just cut the pants out anyway and sewed them up.
I wasn’t very enthused when they were done–so big! so striped!–but I’ve been taking video for the May outfit prompts, and seeing them in action, they’re actually not that sloppy? I think it helps that the prompt I styled them for was, “Dress like you just rage quit your job via voice note and are off to pottery.” Turns out, these are the perfect pants for that.
(That screenshot from my Instagram video isn’t the best quality but it gives the general vibe)
And a better look at the fabric–a really beefy shirting from Nick of Time Textiles.
