hold please

I screwed up my courage to do the waistband on the kwiky prototype and realized that I don't have the right elastic. I bought some for my groovy pajamas which I thought I could just swipe it for this project, but it's too big. I didn't want these to have a wide waistband and didn't plan enough allowance into the pattern. So no waistband yet.

The machine is all set up for the kwikies and I'm worried I won't be able to get the tension right again, so instead of switching back to groovy, I went ahead and stitched the hems on the legs. My first hems!! I used the twin needle for the first time and it was so cool. They're not perfectly straight, but I think they came out pretty well.

And I went ahead and cut out fabric for three more kwikies. Another in gray and then two in brown. I should have enough to make shorts if I decide I like the fabric and the pattern.

The heming looks great! I think the 2 needle sewing makes for a more professional finish. You do good! :) I'm eager to see the boys wearing their pants soon.
