Don’t you just love it when you think of something clever that makes your life easier?  The last time I made pants for one of my dolls I cut the pieces out and then struggled with embroidering the details.  Don’t know what made me think of it really, but this time I traced the pattern pieces on the fabric and embroidered the details and sewed on the knee patches before cutting the pieces out.

Here’s the fabric with the patterns and detail guides drawn on:

And here is a pic with the fabric in the embroidery hoop:

Everything went so much faster this way and the stitches are neater too.  The jeans are almost done now, and so in the lion who will be wearing them.  I should have pics in the next few days.

    I wish I had clothes that were so well made and with so much love.
    You make me wish I was made of wool. Which considering how humid and steamy it is here tonight is a feat of no small measure.
    Can’t wait to see the finished lion. Roooaaaaar!
