Have fabric. Don't Sew.

I just went to the store and bought fabric. Yes, I have a sewing machine. No, I do not know how to sew. But I will say that I'm pretty good at winging it.

My plan is to make a pair of fleece pants with a drawstring waistband and zippered lower legs. Sounds easy enough. [insert shrugging shoulders here] I want to use them for hiking pants but I'll also need them as insulation under my coveralls to work the gate at Southern Lights. I had no luck finding what I wanted in the store so I bought fabric and zippers and decided to make them myself. Even though I don't sew.

This is my project for the holiday and I hope to have them ready by Friday night at the latest so I can use them this weekend backpacking.

Wish me luck. The pants will need it.
