A little extra crazy!

Umm - these are a bit bolder than most of my regular clothing, dear readers. But I really do need casual clothes, and I was looking to quickly try out the McCalls legging pattern (6173) before I try to make a fleece-lined version (it is *cold* here in Toronto.)

This camouflage/animal print has been in my stash since about last summer. I bought it on impulse, when the Fabricland on the Bloor-Yonge line was closing, but it wasn't a very good impulse. The fabric is a cotton knit, very little lycra, meaning I was always a bit dubious about how good the stretch would be, and whether it would recover ok.

It worked out ok though - I've been wearing it for the last couple of hours without any serious wearability concerns.

I've only complimentary things to say about the pattern. I read that it ran large, so I made a small, altering at the marked petite lines. It fits pretty well, and is easy! (One pattern piece - no side seams. Nicely done, McCalls!)

I do need a longer top though - my ass does not need to be seen in leggings, and demands to be properly covered up.

One more picture - I took a billion photos  - this one shows the pants better, with with a bit of my head cut off. It's a sad commentary on my photo-taking skills that these were the best three.
