Pants and Scout Washing Machines

Well, I couldn't turn them into capris because they're too stinking cute as full length work pants with my new flats. Plus, they're SO comfortable to wear that I hate to relegate them to summer only. And from this angle, there's nothing wrong with them (other than wrinkles from sitting and contemplating the other leg...).


Now when you look at the back, you see the right leg twists so the princess seam is clearly off. I think one of the panels is off grain, but there are FOUR, so how do I know which one? I've ripped a couple of seams to try and make it twist the other way, but that's not working too well. Any suggestions? (You know I'll wear messed-up stuff, so I'm liable to just shake my leg a lot at work so nobody notices!)


And lastly, this is what Lucas was doing at Scout camp today, provided by another mom whose husband is one of the adults there. We heard they had a "Scout Washing Machine," but to see it in action is awesome. I doubt Lucas will complain about helping with laundry now.


Have a great weekend - I'm off to finish my dishrag!

Hi Sister! Great pants really good. When I took my jeans class I was told that the knee notches MUST line exactly up or the pants would twist. . have you heard this? That could be the reason - but really I could live with some slight twisting. . . .

I've heard that....unfortunately I already serge-finished the seams, so I can't tell where my notches were - arggghhhh!

I think the pants look good, and I didn't notice the seam until you pointed it out. No one else will either. You can fiddle with it on your next pair. (You can be Twisted Sister)

Ha - you're right! Some of the pants I bought for Japan fit worse than this, which is why I decided to finish them.
