My purple flares have been such favourites ever since they rolled off the sewing machine; an unlikely wardrobe staple. Who would've thunk purple jeans would turn out to be such useful things in my life?? Ask the ignorant old-me back then and she probably would have been doubtful... anyhow they have been and I'm rewarding them with a little retrospective.I made them originally in 2011 using Burda 7863, and in addition to these outfits here they have appeared in a supporting role in several other of my 6 different ways posts too. A few of the following pics are from previous me-made months, some not...
Below, at left; worn with a rusty corduroy tunic top. Boy that top was gorgeously toasty warm. I need another one before next winter; at right; worn with a little self-scarfed top and my brindle knitted cardigan.
Below: at left; worn with a purple Tshirt and a hoodie refashioned from a pair of jeans, at centre; with a grey-dyed-yellow woollen top, and at right; with a plain white Tshirt and thongs on my feet. Admittedly uninspiring, but I included it because this latter outfit has pretty much been my lifetime uniform and so is probably the most "me" ensemble here!
Below: at left; tucked into biker boots and with a long white top and my f-leather jacket, At right; and yup, this one does make seven different ways but (shrug) I almost didn't include this last picture, they're on the saggy and baggy side and look a bit awful now, and so faded!!! but I guess that just shows how much they've been loved. Worn with my green jacket-thing (later dyed) and a raspberry jersey scarf.
Hmmm; what colour to make next, I wonder... ?
