I'm sewing for autumn, although it's still sweating hot everywhere. Our Summer 2010 hasn't been over yet at all, but I am pretending that it's getting cooler day by day. Actually, we are having the hottest and longest summer in the last hundred years here in Japan, and it's kinda surprising (maybe I should say "it's funny" instead) that I am able to feel like autumn sewing, in this heat.
I sewed these pants in this pretty and beige wool as a part of my autumn outfits. I got a pattern named "Joker" at the sale that I mentioned in the last post, and used it for these pants.
(By the way, the 1st anniversary sale at TAMANEGI-KOBO is still going on and will end on 10th/Sep.)
I think my Joker turned feminine and not too casual, probably because of the fabric I used. It was a nice (but not too nice) quality wool fabric, and I love its result at all. I think that these pants look quite lovely, even though they look *technically* nothing special. Actually, I love it even more when it happens. I mean, it makes me happy when I see something lovely in "nothing special". I believe that nothing special can be special with indescribable reasons. *gasp* I'm so incapable of writing. Before I put all sorts of quotation marks everywhere, I shut up.
Hope you are having a pleasant weather.
Have a great week!

Your pants do look lovely. Did you line them? Are they itchy if you didn't. I love the casual elegance they exude.
ReplyDeleteYour pants are great. I completely understand what you are trying to say about finding beauty in the 'nothing special.'
ReplyDeleteDoes your sister know that you're wearing her blouse? :P
Hi Mushy, thanks for the comment. No I didn't line them. As the fabric was quite soft, I thought of lining for supporting, but I didn't line it because there was no itching problem with the fabric and I thought that I could choose right undergarments for wearing it. You are right, I do notice wool fabrics are often uncomfortable to put on without under layer...
ReplyDeleteGreat fit. I love the simplicity of this outfit. It really does look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks growningrace, You are clever and super with reading my heart.
ReplyDeleteAnd, errr, I put it off right after taking photography. It was just a record! ;p
The color and the drape of the fabric are special. These are very lovely pants. I am also sewing for autumn, because I am tired of the hot summer!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! Yes, they are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love your pants - very feminine! Great lines too. Well, on the West Coast of the US we're having the coolest weather - I'm in Southern California and we've had the heat on several times this summer! Crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat's true for Washington and Alaska - very cool - makes sense your weather is very hot - just like our East Coast!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese pants are stunning, and I love the way you've styled them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pants, but please never "shut up" because I really enjoy your writing as much as your sewing. Where I live in Northern California, we have had a very cool summer - and I don't want winter to come. Autumn is my least favorite season, I never understand why everyone likes it so much, although the sewing can be very interesting. Anyway I hope it cools off soon in Japan :)
ReplyDeleteYour whole outfit is stunning. I love the trousers, they are so elegant and beautiful. Great job! (And keep on talking, it's a pleasure to read your thoughts, and I can relate to your feelings of loving the quiet beauty in simple items.)
ReplyDeleteGreat pants. Khaki is always a good color. Looks like you have the fitting down to a "t". Nice work!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely pants! I love how simple and clean and elegant your outfits are! I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteSo when do we stop pretending your sister is going to get the blouse? `-) Nice looking pants!
ReplyDeleteYes, please do not "shut up," I love reading your blogs for the beautiful way you put things. I also love those pants!! We have had an unusual hot summer here in Rhode Island, USA, though cooling down now. When is summer over in your neck of the woods?
ReplyDeletebeautiful work.. you are so creative, I am totally inspired!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pants are lovely! I too am busy sewing pants for the fall even though it's still insanely hot here in Springfield, Missouri!
