Perfect Pattern Parcel: Hudson Pants

October 29, 2014 by Abby 4 Comments

Hudson pants

This latest Pattern Parcel must be the most perfect pattern parcel for me…ever! It contains all the essentials for my mum uniform. I have made up the Hudson Pants and the Syrah Skirt and haven’t taken them off since. Well, only to give them a quick wash, as you can see above. I’ve got the Julia Cardigan pattern printed out and ready to go too.

I apologise for my average photos. We had Roman’s 4th Birthday party on the weekend and along with the icing melting off the cake, I also managed to smash my camera lens. So I’m making do with my iphone camera for now. There are heaps of amazing versions of the Hudson Pants around. Check out some of my favourites here, here and here. They will convince you that you need this pattern, even if my terrible photos don’t!

The Ladies Pattern Parcel collection includes: Syrah Skirt by Lauren Dahl, Bronte Top by Jennifer Lauren, Julia Cardigan by Mouse House Creations, Hudson Pant by True Bias, Zsalya Dress by Kate and Rose.

About Pattern Parcel:
Here at Perfect Pattern Parcel, we believe in supporting independent pattern designers. It’s our opinion that indie patterns are just, well, better than big box patterns, and we’re pretty sure our customers think so too. So, we allow customers to show their support in naming their own price for each Parcel. We also encourage customers to allocate part of their Parcel price to the charity Donorschoose.org in order to help classrooms in need. Pattern Parcel donates all profits after expenses from Parcel sales to the charity as well. Together we’ve raised $12,000 for classrooms in need.

This is the comfy view of the Hudson Pants that I have. I went with a nice bright cotton, perfect for summer. I’ve got my hand shoved in the pocket in this picture, because, well it’s pretty comfy! And yep, I’m rocking a Wiggles bandaid because that’s all I could find. I measured between two sizes so went with the bigger size. I’m pretty short (5’4″) and these don’t have a lot of spare length in them, so if you’re tall, I would add a bit of length to the pattern. I like the slim fit, it makes them seem less slobby than regular track pants, but still just as comfy!

      I’d like to think that my nail polish is cleverly coordinated, but it’s the only colour I have! I wear it all summer long. Want to get an orange on though.

Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melb Secret pyjamas! My dress for this year's @sew_melbourne garden party was the Charlie Caftan by @closetcorepatterns. I shortened it at the shoulders by an inch and think I shortened it at the bottom too. I altered the pockets so they attach into the waist panel, because I hate when in-seam pockets flap about and pull at the side seams. The side slits are a double turn narrow hem as the overlock and turn as suggested in the pattern looked puckered. The fabric is a Cotton + Steel rayon by Masaru Suzuki, which is a dream to sew with. I've made another dress in the red colour way.
Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat Beans from the garden and my favourite way to eat them... Stir fry in hot oil (coconut is delish but whatever you have is fine) until a bit burnt (about 5 mins). Chuck in a few squirts of fish sauce for the last 5 secs and toss through. 
Give them a minute to cool if you can lest you burn your mouth.

A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've added a hair hole, since why don't all hats have that?! Also added some garden wire to the brim.  Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.
