Back at Easter I went shopping at Spotlight with
Michelle and
Siobhan and picked up on sale this flamingo printed rayon that I had been thinking about ever since I saw it earlier in the year. It was on sale at a crazy price so I picked up the remaining few metres in the store thinking that I would make a kimono out of it for a holiday in North Queensland in July. The fabric ran a little bit after washing which was annoying but hopefully it's not too noticeable.
We are about to head off on this holiday and a couple of weeks ago, I realised that while a kimono would be cool (and I still have enough fabric left so this is still not off the cards) what I really wanted was a pair of flamingo pants. Nothing says pasty white tourist escaping the colds of Canberra for 10 days in the sun (hopefully!) like a pair of flamingo pants right.
And not surprisingly I wasn't worried about matching said flamingo pants as I have plenty of stripey tshirts that will fit that bill! Stripes are a neutral after all.
The pattern is the pants from my jumpsuit from Clean and Natural. A very simple make with side angled pockets and an elastic waist. I have fake flat felled all the seams. I hadn't noticed until these photos that I could taper them in a bit more at the ankles to prevent them from being too much like pyjama pants. So... I remedied this post photos and they are now slightly more tapered. And perfect in my mind! I didn't take any new photos - you'll just have to take my word for it.
I am pretty chuffed with these simple pants and am pretty excited to wear them! Bring on a holiday in the warm sun!
