Have you all seen the latest MJF issue? As promised there are several free patterns, a couple for bloomers. I can't wait to blow up the one pattern and try their tying bloomers. They look so comfortable and nice for layering under skirts. It will probably have to wait a month or so uintil I am back by the big city and a Staples. Until then, I am going to make a few more aprons.

I am so looking forward to receiving my MJF magazine. I sent payment off early last week, so it probably should be any time. Can't wait. I like the Butterick pattern better. It seems to fit up around the waist. I haven't got the hang of those pants that are below the waist. My "love handles" show too much.

Here's the thing....I bought some of these types of pants a few years ago at a boutique in Montreal (when I was much skinnier). I attempted to wear them home on the airplane because they were so comfortable, and found out the hard way that the side 'slits' fell open when I sat down exposing everything up to my 'undies'. Needless to say, it was a long flight home. Does anyone have this problem with these pants?

I just got my issue on Saturday. I subscribed after picking up the last issue. My other subscription must have run out. I think each issue is better than the last one.
Karin, I just finished an apron today. My friend gave me two yards of Wizard of Oz fabric she located at a quilt store in Kansas when she went to see her daughter. It is the reversible apron pattern from Simple Sewing by Lotta Jansdotter. I will post picture when someone in my family Takes it for me.

That Butterick pattern looks like you make shorts first and then a wrap around piece second. The ones in MJF are made to only wrap around. Reading the directions I had a hard time visualizing it, but I plan to try it out and see for myself. I think the photography i nthe MJF magazine is beautiful-natural, nature involved, real people.

Celeste, I have wrap pants that also show way too much leg, it's because the side panels aren't long enough. The ones on my blog are more than long enough, and only when I'm sitting cross leg man style (making a triangle of my thighs and one calf) do you have the chance to see thighs. So obviously I don't sit that way when I wear them...Hope that helps.

Clare, what a great looking apron! I love the fabric. I was trying
to put up a temporary clothesline today to hang up and photograph a few aprons, but that turned into a disaster...ah well, I'll try again tomorrow....

It does help, Thanks!
I think I'm going to try making myself a pair off your blog...and avoid sitting man style

Stephanie, cute pattern! You're right, it's just like the cami/bloomer pattern in the Aug/Sept issue, speaking of which, I just bought a copy yesterday at Fred Meyer because figured my new subscription wasn't "active" yet....my subscription issue was in the mail when I got home from town.  Guess I'll have to give the extra to a friend and see if we can add another farmgirl to the dogpile.
