Aloha Everyone! Thank you for your thoughts on the last t-shirt. What a satisfying project that was. Remember how I said that I had a pair of pants cut out. Well, they are finished and were made with a pattern you have seen before,
Simplicity 4273. I discussed all the fitting adjustments in that post. It was so rewarding to pull out the pattern, knowing that it fit beautifully, and just put it together. I added a cuff to this pair, to make them a little different from the last, and to take advantage of some very cool vintage buttons I found on Etsy
here.
Last season I saw a pair of wide-legged pants, from a Micheal Kors collection, in kelly green, and I just had to have a pair for myself. I may be crazy, but I love how they turned out. I think I will have a lot of fun coming up with different tops to wear with this color. I used couture linen from
Fabric Mart, in kelly green, and the pants have an invisible zipper.
Here are some close-ups of the details.

I am on the run this evening with activities with my boys. Hope you all have a good one, and I'll be back soon!

These are a great fit, style and colour. I can see why you wanted the MK's pants. The details are perfect.
Gorgeous pants! I love the whole outfit.
These pants are super fabulous, I want them in my closet! I also really like the button detail on the cuff, thats such a fun idea. Definitely a gorgeous color on you too!
Love the green especially fitting in your tropical environment. What a beautiful fit, no easy accomplishment.
I have a pair of red wool slacks from the early 90"s that I am thinking about restyling...is it worth the effort? Seeing these pants of yours makes me think....yes.
Wow - love the cuffs! Great-looking outfit.
Great job!
Your pants look really great and fit so well. The whole outfit looks really fresh.
Beautifully fitted pants I am jealous. I love that colour.
Such a fresh looking outfit. The green really pops. Lovely details. Those buttons are so cute.
What a winner! I love color, and I love green, and these just hit the spot!
They look great and I love them paired with the white top. What a treat to use vintage buttons!
Cute pants! I like the cuff/button detail. They look very fresh and "springy".
Thank you for making pants in color!
Very springy color.
These are wonderful. Love the bright colour. The button on the cuff is certainly the perfect touch.
wow those pants fit you well, you are the queen of perfect pants!
I like the buttons! you make such lovely pants, time after time.
Those pants are so colorful!! I may be crazy too, but I really like them on you! Paired with the shirt, it is just enough without being over the top.
beautiful! i love colorful pants and that shade of green is one of my favorites.
The colour is gorgeous. Love the fit of the pants - they are spot on.
Love that color!
very very envious of that perfect fit. wow. and the colour, sublime.
Fabulous pants and top - love the colour and the buttons are so cute.
You have achieved a perfect fit - hopefully you will do a little fashion show for us with your other choices for tops ?? Loving your white Tshirt too - that will be so useful.
Oh, I love these pants! Perfect buttons, too.
Perfect pants - perfect color; perfect fit!
Very nice, and will be perfect for your spring!
In answer: I find commercial chemical dyes to be quite colourfast if you follow the instructions properly. Natural dyes are less so.
Very, very cute!!! I was just having that conversation with someone else about pants with color! That's something I've not done in the past and am challenging myself with this year! I absolutely love this pair on you!
The fit on these is perfection (how do you do it?!) and the color is just wonderful for early spring.
I just found your blog and don't know how I haven't come across it before. I love your style. These pants are great, and those vintage buttons too adorable. You're making me wish it would get warmer faster!
