A Simple Life

Monday, January 25, 2010

In reference to the earlier post on the 'Seven Minutes Trousers'...
It is a direct translation from Chinese of a 3/4 pants or tights.
Sometimes, it is rather interesting how the Chinese translate.

I like Tine's idea of a pattern for a pair of pants that can be completed in seven minutes. I would love to havesuch a pattern.

So all my friends who responded... a handmade gift will be in the brew soon. (Once I get the house cleanned and the clothes sewn for Chinese New Year...)

I will get in touch with you soon.
