Sitting on my desk this week is a small stack of Jalie patterns. The near parity between the Australian and US dollars means that I was able to buy these online for nearly half what I would pay in Australia.
To avoid too many questions about this purchase, I have arranged the acquisitions so that this trouser pattern is on top.
Friends, there is no way Mr HB will want to investigate said purchases if he thinks that I might want to sew him something. You know ... to wear.
Of course if you have used Jalie patterns before, you'll know that they are multi-sized from child to adult. This one is intended to be new trousers for Argy and Bargy. But there's no need for Mr HB to know that ... we'll keep that our secret. OK?
In fact I might even add a tape measure and a pad and pencil close by ... with alarming things like inner leg jotted on it.

Little Mr D asked the other day if I could sew him some shorts after I made another (easy) skirt for Miss A. Not sure I can but I better go and look at those Jalie patterns.
ReplyDeleteI just bought my first Jalie pattern - very impressed with the range of sizes, now to actually cut it out and sew.
ReplyDeleteI had a good laugh at your plan - are you sure he won't be delighted at the thought and you will have to actually make them?
ReplyDeleteClever girl. (You made me break out in a cold sweat just thinking about---gasp!---sewing from a pattern. Can't wait to see Messrs. A&B decked out in their new finery!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Now you have to start asking him about what fabrics he would like so you can go on a fabric shopping spree
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous! Love your plan.
ReplyDeleteGreat plan! love it, and he will have to wear them to work right?

ReplyDeleteClever and cunning, you've got it all goin' on Liesl :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Way to smokescreen the hubby! You are going to LOVE your new Jalies! I've sewn the sweetheart top (ahem, several times and in several sizes) and the jeans and been very happy with everything Ive made from a Jalie pattern.
