colette pattern ~ mini bloomers project

after a week of procrastination, i finally spent an hour this weekend to finish the mini bloomers i started last week. they are super cute but i'm not totally satisfied with them...they're too...low on the hips for me and i have no butt to speak off to stop them from sliding down my non-existent hips.

process in pics:

looks like ginoooooooooormous granny panties

a detail i love: 2 bands of elastic encased in 4 casings.

a little mismatch when i hemmed the bottom. too long on the inside seams. *shrug*

big mistake: did not mark the openings when i cut the fabric. so...the buttonholes were eyeballed. did not match placement for casing...at all.

yeah, those buttonholes are supposed to be between the two rows of stitchings. did not happen.

but you can't tell, can you? :P

on me. see? no hips, what.so.ever.

pattern snapshot:

pattern ease: pretty easy. instructions well really easy to follow.

pattern accuracy: mmmm i cut out a size small, probably could have gone with an xsmall. the inside seams might be too long? i'm not sure. overall, not bad. 

fabric suggestions: i used lightweight gingham. i assume any soft cotton, flannel, and silk would work well. not suitable for heavyweight fabrics.

will i make this again? yup! i want one in flannel, haha!
