Finished sewing these pants and VERY pleased. They're heavyweight black and white harlequin pants, a combination of the #ArdenPants ( pants top) and #JunePants (legs) by Helen's Closet. I could NEVER find (1/2)

I finished my second t-shirt! This is a #DawsonTop made with cotton jersey, and #JunePants, both by Helen's Closet. I sewed the shoelaces too. Very pleased, though my next t-shirt will be a little longer for sure.

Inspired by El, things I did yesterday instead of doomscrolling:
1. Ate Canadian (Compliments) pretzels, YUM.
2. Started #JunePants, b/w stripes.
3. Checked Fancypants Duotrope page with pending piece (too often) to see current stats.
4. Drank Irish Breakfast tea.
5. Watched Australian Amazing Race.

I made sleeping shorts! These are the B version of #JunePants by Helen's Closet, made with fabric I bought because it was on sale and cotton and lightweight but LOVED working with. Super excited to make more to replace (1/2)

Another pair of #JunePants by Helen's Closet finished! This pair has polar bears on it (see second photo for a close up) and is so comfy.

Silver lining of almost a month home with Covid, I was able to spend a bit of time sewing and made these lightweight #JunePants by Helen's Closet. I now own 5 pairs, and love them all. Next up: I'm working on a #CameronShirt (1/2)

Finished my third pair of #JunePants by Helen's Closet! I'm not a flower pattern person, but lightweight fabric always wins out over the pattern, so comfort-wise I love these. I made a third pair because I've (1/??)

The #JunePants are finished! So pleased with how they fit, and especially happy that I tried again. Not getting it right the first time was a giant knock to my sewing confidence. Since (1/2)

WOW are the #JunePants by Helen's Closet easy and fun when I'm properly following the directions... I've arrived at the waistband after gliding happily through the rest of the instructions. Still waffling on (1/2)

A person with a shaved head, bright blue hair, and teal cat-eye glasses is smiling at the camera. They are holding a vibrant blue floral fabric in one hand and a sewing pattern in the other. The pattern cover features an illustration of three people wearing shorts and is labeled "June" from Helen’s Closet Patterns. They are wearing a black shirt and yellow patterned pants, and their nails are painted a matching shade of blue. The background is a plain white wall.

Second try on the #JunePants by Helen's Closet! First try was a disaster because I did a terrible job of reading the pattern, so I'm actually pretty excited about the second try since even though I messed up (1/??)

the #JunePants by Helen's Closet. I suspect it's about body shape - even when the size is perfectly right, not everyone's body fits into pants in the same way. The June pants fit my body shape and while totally wearable, the Glebe pants not so much. LOVED learning how to make slash pockets though!
