The new trousers (that word is just WRONG!)

So ! ...

I finished the trousers/shorts/capri's....  the pictures make me look horrible but I thought I would post up a little picture of the details. 

I took a pair of pj short bottoms and winged a pattern off of them but in order to not just have them look like pj bottoms I added the detail you will see in the photo.  The detail is a series of two buttons which you can hike the sides up with.  I have done this for when I take Tim to the park and we go into the wading pool.  Also if it is a hot day I can make them a little shorter.

Being over 35 and very large I wanted something that was loose and airy but also covered my knees and was long enough not to ride up because I do have a lot of issues with that in summer which can be painful.

I chose blue thread as a detail and the the red buttons for a shot of colour.

What do you think?
