Fairy Tales

A long time ago,  a beautiful princess was given this Decades of Style pant pattern for her birthday. The princess dutifully traced the pattern, cut the toile (fitting garment), then left the project to rot in The Pit of Unfinished and Forgotten Projects. She went about her life very happily and frolicked to and fro.

One day several months later the princess was offered her choice of some very delicious and very free fabrics. The princess hawed and hemmed trying to decide. She realized her birthday was quickly approaching–how rude to have received a very spectacular pant pattern gift last year and not have finished the pants. The princess set her eyes on the goal–finish those pants before another candle was added to her cake. This goal helped her select a generous portion of linen material perfect for the pants.

The toile and pattern were retrieved from The Pit of Unfinished and Forgotten Projects and she worked diligently on them. Amazingly very few and minor changes were needed after fitting the toile and the work began swiftly on the final pants. Alas much celebrating occurred in the land of the princess when the pants were finished. The deadline was just barely missed, but the pants were exhibited at a gathering of royalty from the area.

The princess had much fun and continues to go about her life very happily and frolic to and fro. A few short weeks later, the princess got word from a fellow princess in a faraway land. A royal request was heralded.
