So, I decided to stop being afraid of my sewing machine and try and learn how to use it! I started browsing amazon, and came across my own personal sewing bible.
Bend-the-Rules Sewing: The Essential Guide to a Whole New Way to Sew
the motto is no pins and no patterns - ummmm..... I'm in love!!!
So, after browsing the chapters a few nights ago and armed with a great tutorial, I started sewing.... and sewing...
and here's what I came up with (please excuse the photos, my camera is in the shop)
These started out as an old pair of Kevin's corduroys and are in the process of being transformed into a pair of experimental orveralls. They are still lacking the overall bit, I'm trying to gather inspiration for something fun for that! The pockets are recycled and are actual pockets.

These are a pair of gauchos made from a scrap piece of upholstery fabric. (I did use a pattern for inspiration). I'm going to put 4 large buttons on them, add a clasp at the back and put a black cuff on the legs
