Hello my beautiful textile artists, have a wonderful night everyone, God bless you greatly! I hope everyone is very well, enjoying good health! For my part, I am very immensely grateful for all the support and for your beautiful comments that encourage me a lot. Today I am very happy to share with you a new handmade content.

You may be wondering why I decided to add in the title of this new post -“When not everything is rosy"-, and it's that days ago someone told me - Hey, but sewing must be easy , Well, you do it quickly and it looks very nice on you! I just smiled and respected his point of view, because for me it was a compliment and they are comments that I love to hear, even if it is not reality.

Although it is true that there are types of fabrics that can be worked quickly, there are others that really require a lot of precision, care, patience, a lot of concentration on occasions of a long time, since that not always the things you want to do with them turn out the way you want, and this was my case in this confection of a Capri pants made with rayon fabric, maybe it wasn't really the fabric, maybe it was something I did wrong is that it was not what I wanted to do at first, and although it did not turn out as expected, I liked the result very much and I felt that it was worth the effort and also made me understand what it takes to learn this beautiful art and how much I love to do it, so the title is not because of the color of the cloth I had but because of everything that happened to me while I was doing it. I invite you to read until the end! Let's go!

(PROCEDIMIENTO)

Paso 01

Step 01

I'll tell you that my first idea was to make baggy pants with a thick waistband, so I took a measurement of a pair of everyday pants and placed it on my double fabric, then I cut all the way around and Although I held it with pins, it moved a lot, but I still managed to cut the two parts that would make up my pants.

Paso 02

Step 02

In this step everything went well, I made a seam starting from the bottom of the pants towards the waistband, I made an armhole finish several times since the fabric was fraying a lot and I thought it could be done break when putting it on if it didn't. Then I sewed the sides the same way.

Paso 03

Step 03

I was very excited because everything was turning out the way I wanted, so I did the sewing of the legs and I noticed that it is getting small so I decided to measure it and it turned out that it was very small; so I had to unsew and cut a strip with the fabric that I would use for my waistband and sew it on both parts of the legs and thus enlarge my pants a little more.

Paso 04

Step 04

I had to stay calm to unsew this fabric so it wouldn't break; but my pants would no longer have a thick waistband because I had used the fabric I had left to accommodate it, so I made a straight seam at the top for a simple waistband, inserting a thin elastic in it and adjusting the pants.

Paso 05

Step 05

Then I measured it one more time; and my pants were getting shorter than I wanted hahaha, the night had come and I was about to give up... So I took some remaining strips and doubled them and then sewed them to the end of each leg and lengthened it a little more but One part was thicker than the other so I had to unsew it again, I was already crying hahaha.

Paso 06

Step 06

Despite how tired I was, I undid it very carefully and did this part again, but I had already noticed that it was a bit wide at the knees and I inserted a thin rubber band to adjust it a little and thus finally finish it.

😃 Resultado! 😃

Trying to stay calm in the face of some unforeseen event is not entirely easy and it seems silly that something that even I thought would be something simple would cost me so much to do. But in the end, I keep these beautiful pants, which, as I told you, left me with a great lesson in doing it, and it is that living consists of many attempts, and even if we do not have the results we hope for, we must learn from the process, rectify what we do wrong and move on , but above all we must love what we do and be grateful for what we have. Here I show you this beautiful result, I hope you liked my work today!
