I've only worn these pants when it's been below 70 degrees (F) and I've been quite comfortable (I'm also a relatively "cold" natured person). This fake leather is pretty thin, and the back side is like a silky poly knit, so they slide off and on very nicely. Could definitely see making a pair of leggings that are part faux leather, part ponti knit. I would just be mindful to match the weight of the fabrics. Good luck!!sallieforrernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937322106192241083.post-14636110053216634272012-12-04T11:41:20.979-08:002012-12-04T11:41:20.979-08:00Your pants look awesome!

I was thinking of trying to make something similar but with patches of fake leather combined with ponti instead of all fake leather.

I've thought about doing waxed denim/cotton in lieu of leather too and my one issue is that the wax coating wears away, but I read that you can just buy wax and freshen it up yourself. So I don't see why you can't wax from the start!sallieforrernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937322106192241083.post-39096848637632051312012-12-01T13:49:22.823-08:002012-12-01T13:49:22.823-08:00Those pants are amazing!!!

I got obsessed with having a pair of leather pants a couple of years ago. I imagined myself in all kinds of outfits with them (one of those with a big drapey white tee). I wish, wish, wish that I could find some of that waxed/laminated stretch denim that looks like leather, because one of my worries is that with actual leather/pleather I'd just sweat too much in Texas. I tried on a J Brand waxed pair last year that felt like heaven and I've been hunting for a suitable fabric ever since.

I love that you ran out of fabric and just...Sweeet. I love that you ran out of fabric and just squished it in somehow XD. Re trends: I don't sew stuff that's on trend because I prefer to wear whatever suits me and flatters my figure and because trends look dated very quickly. <br />Also, (unfortunately) 99.9% of Uni students wear fast fashion due to poverty/ idiocy/ some combination thereof-so being on trend at Uni means vanishing into a herd of ill-attired cheap China crap XS. I don't want people to think (even accidentally) that I bought something made in a sweatshop, but that's hardly a problem now I've been sewing for almost 3 years and everyone knows I only wear me made (also I don't hang out with anyone that wears fast fashion.. everyone I know either op-shops or saves up and support locally made brands). Also, that top is awesome-I like the cuff thing you've got going on with the sleeves. It was 40 degrees here yesterday-totally need to make some summer stuff..

Looking like Leia can only be a HUGE plus. Especially if Han Solo might appear when you're in costume ;p<br /><br /><br />The pants, it must be sad, are hawt!
