anyway last weekend i joined a gym. only - i have no clothes to wear to a gym! and even though i've lost 13 kilos (!!) i would find it hard to buy sportswear so i decided to make some.
this is the 3rd thing i've made from this pattern and they've all been wayyyy too big. i measured carefully, got mum to check the pattern against me... and still had to take about 3" off each side before they sort of fitted (really, they've turned out still a little big as i'm losing weight, but too late now)
i used the unbrushed cotton fleecy i'd bought from the mill and unfortunately between a flaw in it and having sold off the rest i now have not enough to make myself anything else which is a bit of a PITA. i can work around the flaw (5 lines wasting about 10" of fabric) to make some pants for the girls.
PS; these photos are disgusting (geoff can't for the life of him EVER take a flattering photo of me *sigh*) but they'll also double as photos to record my weightloss (unfortunately i didn't take any before photos as it was all far too terrible)

Brazen, they look great and good luck at the gym.
Well done losing 13kg!!! I am down 7kg so far... but I have hardly lost anything in the last couple of months. Well done on joining the gym too!!!
The shorts look great! Bummer about not having enough left for anything else for yourself.
Great job with the shorts Brazen, and good luck at the gym! 13 kg is a huge achievemene, well done.
Wow Brazen, a HUGE congratulations on the weight loss!!! The shorts look great too, and it's always better when they come out too big rather than too small.
well done on loosing 13kg! thats heaps!! i have never lost that much on one diet. i usually loose 2 or 3 then give up pmsl. And the shorts look great too, like ingrid said better too big, than like me who always makes things too small lol
