Pink Sweater and Pirate Jeans

 

I found this pink sweater fabric in Guthrie and Ghani, a fabric shop in Birmingham that we visited last summer. It has a small white thread that gives it a lighter shade, beautiful. The denim, I bought online in Denimlab. It has 2% elastic in it. 

I used my old Coco pattern for the jumper bodice, and then I hacked the sleeves using Aldrich's book method. 

For the pants I used an old pattern from BurdaStyle that I love, my Concert Twill Pants, although I had to take 1 cm off the external seams (x4!). Still, they kept falling down when I wore them, so I had to undo some self encased seams and take some 2cm more at the waist piece and the top of the sides seams. 

This is a wonderful pattern, the perfect crotch length, tight at the hips and straight wide from the hip down, I really love this pattern and I will use it again.
