Sewing for him - Black cargo pants

You know how they say you can't teach new tricks to old dog? 100% true! 

The man has been wearing cargo pants for half of his life and try as I may, I can't get him out of them! I've used every trick in my books to coax and encourage him to wear... well regular pants. Jeans... but no! 

His favourite black pair finally gave up this summer. There was nothing to salvage, except the design. So I pulled out the pant sloper I've drafted for him and copied his old RTW pants. 

Sewing for him - cargo shorts

Sorry for the crappy image quality. I got a new camera and I have no idea still how to take good pictures with it.

Few weeks ago inevitable happened - my boyfriends favourite shorts almost fell apart by the seams. As a good girlfriend, I rushed in to fix what I could. Sadly the only fix I could think of was to make new shorts. Yes people, there literally was nothing to be saved. The fabric was worn so thin, I would have never been able to make a new stitch.

So I cut his old shorts apart to get the pattern and made him new ones. I even used buttons from his old shorts!
