    Would absolutely love a hiking pants pattern from you ! I love your style and all your patterns are things I’d wear myself. I don’t love a lot of women’s hiking pant styles on the market so it would be cool to be able to make my own :) also I think the bag pattern looks really good so far !

      I honestly can't remember where I got it from! It's been in my stash foreverrrr. It's also not super opaque, it will be slightly sheer but I don't mind too much for this style of top. I did use this white linen twill from Blackbird recently that was very flowy and 99% opaque: www.blackbirdfabrics.com/en-us/products/6-5oz-laundered-linen-twill-white?_pos=7&_sid=41616474d&_ss=r

      @HiSydGraham 3 дня назад

      The struggle is real, I never know what to ask for! Last time, I asked for a slight trim and lots of layers. I also don't like short-ish pieces by my face, so my shortest layer is about collarbone length.
