Wild Child
So, we’re like halfway through July now apparently. ERMAHGERD. In my head, we’re still in March – because that’s when I left the office to go to NYC for our holibobs and I haven’t been back to work since. All my stuff is still sitting on my desk as I left it (hopefully), and the…

Blue Jeans Blues
Well, hello February! This year is FLYING by already 😨✈️ So you guys remember my 2019 Make Nine? I ticked a few things off as ‘made’ but they hadn’t actually hit the blog yet – this is one of those things! Since I’d tackled jeans for me, it seemed about time that the husbeast got…

Back to the Future
So I’m skipping through time a bit with this post – backwards, rather than forwards, though. Do you remember how nervous I was about sewing trousers, before I’d made any? Well, I started out with the Burda high waisted ones (which allowed me to discover, the hard way, that pleated-front trousers are NOT flattering on me),…

Jean Genie
So you remember how I deliberated, and faffed, and generally just procrastinated over making trousers for all that time? Like, literally almost a year? ? Well, I made those Burda high waisted trousers you see above, then used that to springboard me on to the Deer and Doe Safrans. Hot on the heels of the Safrans…

Getting The Safrans Show On The Road
Inspired by the sort-of success of my Burda trousers, I decided to finally crack the whip at myself, stop procrastinating and get the Safrans Show on the road. I’ve been faffing over these bloody Deer and Doe Safrans trousers for FAR too long. The very reasons I hate shopping for trousers are the same reasons…

Welcome to the Pants Party
Let me just start out by clarifying that by ‘Pants Party’, I mean trousers, not lacy undergarments (or in fact, *any* kind of undergarments) If you’re looking for that kind of party, then you’re in the wrong place ? I’m here to talk about the ‘trousers’ kind of pants, and more specifically, ones I MADE MYSELF WITH MY…
