"huck finn pants"

I got a book called "Weekend Sewing" by Heather Ross a few weeks back because they had this one pattern in it I just had to have... Yeah, not the best reason to buy a 12 dollar book, but hey- I found a few others I liked in it! I made a dress for Abby last week (sorry, no pic). It was a cute cherry number, halter style with a big red ribbon to tie in to a bow. Well, it didn't end up like I wanted and she has to wear a shirt under it or "my nip shows". Nice, Abs. I busted it out for a pair of pants after dinner tonight. Best news of all?? He actually liked them!!!

Ben says they look like golf pants. I think they turned out pretty cute. Oh, and they only cost about 50 cents!
Oh man, think twice before you get this book, there are soo many errors that I have read about while googling projects to see what other people have made with the book. These pants were giving me a hard time, the pattern pieces end up being shorter than each other! what?? Maybe I am not an advanced enough sewer and they were meant to be that way, but dang!

ps I havent made that pattern I bought the book for yet... maybe someday;)
