But suddenly out of nowhere, I just made three pairs of pants.
Personally, I think those tropical craziness are the prettiest ones and neatest ones I made.

I used free pattern from Sozoblog by Zoe Edwards. The pattern has two options for the gusset. Very detailed instructions and lots of other useful tips and tricks, like how to deal with fold over elastic, making with knit fabric. I mean Zoe is great and they should listen to her podcast called a Check Your Thread.
It was my first time making with stretch fabric of any kind, and definitely my first time is full of elastic or making undies. I did enjoy making the underwear, even though it was tricky and new techniques.
So far I made three pairs and they’re all not quite right. I do find the fold over elastic process. Very tricky time-consuming and I’m not the neatest person so it’s going really against me in this case.
I’m glad they are under garments, but they are so incredibly comfortable. I don’t think I event had a pair of undies that are this comfortable!
Though tips for the future, if you got out the pattern ages ago and don’t sell it for over a year it’s my worth checking your measurements as I discovered that the tropical pants are an inch to big bad, still perfectly wearable and so comfy.
I definitely will make some more again. I still have blue jersey left and some of this tropical fabric and they have different colour fold over elastic. I might want to try different technique me before putting fold over elastic on. I tried when you sell it on one side first, and then on the other, but the garment seems stretched out and didn’t look very pretty. It’s fine to wear by just aesthetically, wasn’t very pleasing. And I didn’t catch some fabric. The original message Zoe recommends is a bit too fiddly for me. Maybe I just need to pay more attention.
My lovely husband told me that they look like old man budgie smugglers. Isn’t it lovely?
As for #SewingFrugal23 I also cut out Sabrina scared by little pomegranate and hoping to make it this weekend.
