    Hello!

    So, here's the thing.
    i have cord fabric, i wanna make patchwork pants with it. And i have some ideas of how they are supposed to be made. but it would be really great if someone that knows how to make them could help me out some. So, is there anyone here that knows anything about patchwork?

    Peace and CISV!

    the easiest way is too just cut all your fabric into squares ( i assume you have differant colors) whatever size you want and then sew them back together to make a big sheet of patchwork. Then buy a pattern for pants (a cheap one is fine) and follow the instructions the pattern comes with.
    uumm does that answer your question? or do ya need more detail :)

    I would line them with some fabric. Muslin is great for lining. Just make sure you wash your fabrics before you start sewing with them. Muslin shrinks up a lot more than corduroy does.

    Norway is a big country, so it would take a lot of luck if I knew them.
    i'm not really doing anything CISV now, I'd love to be a JC, but I don't think that's gonna be my priority at the time being.
    Are you gonna do any other CISV stuff?

    Okey. How many chapters do you have in Norway?
    yeah! JC would be sooo much fun, im too old though... :(
    Why's it not such a big priority at the time? some other stuff going on? *curios*
    Well. i want to... but i think i'll just have to wait until im 19 when i can be a leader. :)
