Jalie 3243

20 years ago (give or take), a friend of ours called and said "Are you sitting down? I  bought a bass."

Well readers, are you sitting down? I made casual summer bottoms that could also have dressier applications!!!!  I sewed them as drafted with no alterations except for cropping the hems by around 4." Should I go up another inch? I'm not sure. I kind of like the length as is. 

With newly-shortened Jalie 3880

This pair is in Brussels washer but I think they'd be lovely in silk noil, although that would require extra extra care with the salad dressing. I plan to make at least one more pair, and possibly a shorts version too.... 

I'm super happy with them, even if they do fall towards the man-repeller-y end of the sartorial spectrum. (Sometimes I'm flattered that my husband's solution to all of my fitting woes is tighter and shorter, sometimes I just can't even.)
