A Sunny Day of Sewing with Friends

A couple of months ago, my sewing friends (friends from work) and I decided to sew a pair of trousers that one of my friends had wanted to buy in Vienna. The pair she showed me cost around €100, and I had found the exact pattern. We decided to sew the Emile Pants by Ready To Sew because why spend so much when you can sew them yourself with friends for a fraction of the price!

It was a beautiful, sunny autumn day and the perfect day to spend sewing with friends.

We had pizza for lunch, which was delicious, and this was our quickest sewing day yet. We started at 8:30 am and finished around 7:30 pm. Impressive, really, as we usually go past 10 pm. There were many fun moments, but also moments of frustration for us all. Still, we all walked away with a finished pair of trousers.

I wish I had used a different fabric because mine look like pyjamas. I am currently wearing them to bed! They make the perfect house trousers, which make me feel cute. I plan on making another pair tomorrow, but this time in a more wearable fabric.
