they're loungey scrub pants. I got a sewing machine a few months ago, have no idea what I'm doing and basically fucking around with it.
Tonight I decided to make my husband some scrub/loungey pants with some fabric I got for a buck at Ikea.
Whatddya think?

And I still use it but I haven't made anything as remarkable as those pants!

(18,312 posts)I made a sewing machine cover, and a felt quilt, but the pants are real.
and they're hideous
and I love them
When he wears them out to lunch with you, you'll know how much he loves you!
I have some fabric left over, not enough for a shirt, but I can cut out some of the eyes and make a purse or something
