I decided yesterday to email Unique about the fit of the slacks. The legs gently twist inward on the way down so that at my feet the inseam has veered backward and the sideseam has veered forward. Unique replied, apologizing for the problem letting me know they'd redraft. They asked for a couple of measurements and digital photos, if possible. I can do that. In the meantime I'll probably tweak the existing pattern to see if I can get those seams straight.
I sewed! I actually sewed! I got this pretty accordian pleated "broomstick" fabric at my first (and only, so far) BABES gathering (BABES is a group of sistah sewists from the bay area who have Pattern Review in common: I've wanted to make it into a skirt for Easter for 2 years and I finally did! Here it is: I've lost 58 pounds over the past 10 months and this is the first thing I've sewed since I started my diet (Atkins). To go with the skirt I bought a knit top (in the misses department, not the Women's department!) and to complete the outfit my sweet girls gave me a gift certificate for a pedicure so I have matching toenails!
