EASY FIT PANTS = SUPER QUICK PJ's! & a GIVE-AWAY!

 **The Winner is..CAROLYN! Comment #7. Congrats!! :)
Thankyou everyone!



I have been just dying to try out the Scientific Seamstress patterns! Last week I managed to!


I used the Easy Fit pants pattern to make pj' pants for Bon. (10). She is about a size 10, but long and lanky. These patterns are so well thought out. There is a printing guide that tells you what pieces to print, about 5 pages from memory. And then you simply tape the bits together where it tells you. But there's more...this gives you the template, and from this you then construct your own custom pattern piece, so they fit really well! The process is very quick and easy, and works!

There are lots of handy sewing hints and full pics throughout, the patterns essentially holds you hand all the way, so great for beginners! They sew up really fast too ( great for me, as I am quite impatient).

I used a lovely soft Sponge Bob woven from the CM Shop and topped with a Farbenmix  IMKE.  
A great jammie combo! 

These e-patterns are really well priced, and given they are multi sized...
BAZINGA! 
Even better value!  See them all HERE!


GIVE-AWAY!

I have ONE Scientific Seamstress e-pattern to give away..leave me a comment as to which is your fave Scientific Seamstress e-pattern and why!  I'll get Random.org to pick a winner Friday night!
