The Incredible Expanding Pink Clovers
Warning. The following pictures contain:a. greasy mullet hair
b. a too tight, old, grimey white t-shirt
c. visible bra lines
d. my midriff
e. incredible expanding pants
Still here? You're brave. Ok, let's disuss my pink clovers. Ironically, I was planning on posting these pants today anyway, but was validated when I saw this post by Mika of Savory Stitches. So here's the deal. My pants are growing. Just like Mika's. I used exactly the same pattern as my black clovers, along with some pink stretch corduroy from Gorgeous Fabrics and they are stretching out like crazy! Even after washing them in hot water and sticking them in the dryer!
They start out sort of normal fitting in the morning, then they become this mess by lunch...

Write commentsI'm glad I'm in good company. (And bonus points to you for posting pictures! Also, I'm a plant killer too.) I too believe that ice cream may be the solution to fitting into stretched out pants. But then you are faced with the perhaps more problematic too-small everything else.
ReplyI hate to say it, but they may not be save-able. My beignet skirt I made a while back did the same thing. I used a stretch twill and the stretch "wore out" for lack of better description. It got wider and wider and wouldn't go back. It's a problem with the fabric, I guess. Of course I never tried taking it in again.
ReplyI'd take the ice cream solution :-)
ReplyI'm not sure if other solutions help. It could be fabrics fault. Still it's always worth trying... The colour is great.
