I outlined the size I wanted in black Sharpy and then traced onto exam paper, a gift from Lunesta via BFF. It seems like a lot of work to get these even read to cut. I'll let you know if it's worth it. I really DO want to learn to make (fit, really, the sewing is the same) slacks. I'm going to actually make these, probably next weekend, when my husband's out of town and I'm rained in with Hanna. Based on fit, I really like them, but will probably cut them one size smaller. The legs are pretty wide and I had lots of room in the hips. These are the "famous" Marlene pants that are being "sewn along" on SG. They will also be my first Burda. After determining that I must have a German-shaped butt. I certainly don't have a Vogue shaped one. Bleck!Next up is my wall of sewing. This is an Ikea shelf that fills the wall almost perfectly. Kind of a "where's waldo" feel to this. But I'll point out a few of my favorite things. My vase full of Marti Gras beads. 
Not so sewing, but I like these. They make me happy. I think it's the colors. Whatever. Third row down and far right are 2 icky green sewing baskets, a la 1970. One is mine and has mostly old thread and odd fiber art (ok, puffy paint) stuff. The other was Mom's and has a quilt (I use the term very lightly) I've been making for 40 years. Aunt Mae started it with me. Ah well.... Patterns are in the 2 brown baskets upper left corner & right below. Trims are in the blue shoe box and my Pacific Trims trims in the little bag to the right. You can see the Burda muslin hiding behind the box. The 2 banker's boxes contain the "what was I thinking" stash and the "it's too small to sew and too big to toss" stash. If you want some odd stuff (and I mean odd!) or small stuff, let me know. It's yours. Sewing books are above the green sewing boxes and there's a furniture refinishing project hidden behind there. Bottom center is a GStreet mind warp. The green is SOOO soft and I have so much of it and have no idea what the heck to do with it. Seriously. It's baby weight knit. Pretty, but not me. You can see other stash here and there. Mardel: if you're looking you can see my FabricMart haul. 
On the top half you'll find Threads and other mags in their bins and some leftover sofa cushion guts. Bought and realized we just throw them in the floor, so why bother? Couple of UFO's/wadders in the USPS box above my Ebay find. And my tunes in the upper right. No explanation is available for the mess on the edge of the ironing board. That's just an embarassment. Can you find my dad? He's hiding in there somewhere! Today would have been his birthday. Happy Birthday, daddy!
