The other day, I was minding my own business…stalking my sewing peeps when I saw Heather’s Bonnie. Not only that, she mentioned how cute the Bonnie would look with the Decades of Style empire waist trousers.
Sometimes I like being in charge. Sometimes I like telling people what to do. But lots of times I just like doing what I’m told. And everyone knows I listen to Heather. If she says go make the Bonnie with the empire waist trousers, I do it. I made the same cropped version Heather made but I added cuffs to the sleeves.
Rather than taking pictures, I opted for a video. (I do call the Bonnie the Betsy by mistake- so edit that when you get to it.)
What do you think of a video for a trouser reveal? Does it show them more accurately than still photos?
Short and sweet. I’m out!
sorry the video doesn’t work properly for me. I can hear you but the screen is just green. The trousers do look nice in the still photo
Oh no! I hope it starts to work.
Video worked okay for me. I like the pants- looks like they fit nicely.
Thank you!
Cute outfit on you! I think photos are better for seeing details unless you can take a really good HD video (but then your striped top would be dancing even more).
You said something in the video about putting the specifics below. Umm, I don’t see those. =)
Oops. I just meant links. haha I’m being such a lazy blogger lately.
Those do look fantastic, nicely done Lelia. I would have put a cuff on Bonnie too in the case of contrast ribbing. In face I’ve done it on a couple of solid ones.
I’ve been thinking about getting this pattern and slightly modifying to be like these Vivian of Holloway trousers. They have a waistband and buttons on the side.

I really want to try Steph’s new trouser pattern when it comes out. Those have a view that is the sailor pant version. That’ll complete my look!
Video is a great idea! Love the outfit too 🙂
Thank you Abby!!
Love the video, and you sound just like I thought you would!! The trousers are very very cute although I’m with you about having a high waist and not necessarily needing to emphasise that fact, although the Bonnie works so well with the trousers that they could have been made for each other! Nice to see you back too (coming from someone who hasn’t blogged in aaaaaaages!!)
Ohh, thank you for the super cute video. I think it shows your outfit much better than pictures and it’s lovely to hear you talking.
Hey Leila! I think the trousers hang lovely, they look exactly like the trousers I used to love to rock about 13 years ago! I loved massive trouser legs! It may be the video, but I wouldn’t alter them. I don’t think they even need taking out of the back at all, unless you’re trying to take them into a different look. And I’m starting to want the Bonnie too!
