18 KCW: Sea Girl

Ahoy mateys!
I managed to finish project #2 yesterday and oh how it makes my sea-farin' heart aflutter!
The harem-sareouls-MCHammer pants is my own pattern (post HERE).  I plan to eventually have a tutorial on the pants once things settle down, so please come back and check it out. One thing I forgot to mention in my post about these pants, is Sophie from Cirque Du Bebe. She was the one who actually planted the seed of these uber cool bottoms in my head. Hers is designed from knit fabric and can I just say...
FAB-U-LUST!!!
You must check it out!
Look at this yummy fabric. Delicious, no?
It's Robert Kaufman Brussels Washer, Yarn Dyed Linen/Rayon (Phew! whatta mouthful) in red. I got it on my weekend trip to Cambria where I had the opportunity to pop in at Birch Fabrics Shop (aka: Fabricworm). It was awesome. I tell ya more later!
Back to the pants. I love big pockets and I mean LOOOVE. Especially with kids because they always seem to put them to good use. Dirt, rocks, mushy string cheese from lunch... you name it, it's in there. Adults... it's mostly aesthetics.
The shirt was quick and easy.
I just added silver buttons (the ones that are used for overalls) and made flaps from leftover fabric for the shoulders. On the chest, I created a granny knot with leftover rope and sewed it on. Easy-peasy!
Overall time spent on this project was about 3 hours. 
Hmmm... not too shabby.
