Welcome to my day on the Sew Long Summer blog tour! I participated in this for last year and it was so fun that I had to do it again!
For most mothers the end of summer signals a blessed return to school. I am in that boat but after giving birth to Wee Baby the end of summer is also the return to work. And since my new job is business casual – I had a urgent need for some nicer clothes.
So of course I had to turn to my favorite pattern New Horizons Portlanders! Now I have sewn these with the intended fabric as well as stretch denim. But these are suiting fabrics and generally do not stretch as much as “give” slightly.
So I used a size larger and I love the fit! I made two different lengths for my flat dress shoes and my heels.
And obviously I had to add a little fun to my wardrobe so the last bit of my Deadpool custom fabric and made a soft comfy waist band.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and checking out my post! I am so grateful to our wonderful organizer and my wonderful blog mates!

Both pairs look so nice. I would never have guessed there was a soft waistband. You have some nice looking trousers with sneaky comfort.

This is GENIUS! I was going to make myself some casual pants for around the house and stuff with the Portlanders pattern, but I should totally make a pair or two in case I have a client meeting…and for church…whenever we go again 😛

I love how you made business casual pants comfy, and with fun fabric to boot! Pants are definitely on my “to-make” list…I need to bite the bullet and just do it already.
