While visiting the Natural History Museum, a woman complimented my son on his bandanna pants. After finding out that I made them, she ordered five pair. These pants are so much fun to make. Every time they come off my sewing machine, I smile. They remind me of Nudie suits and Gram Parsons.

Actually, those are pretty cool! They look like they'd make good swimming trunks. How are they made?
ReplyDeleteBandanna pants are a staple at Camp Ramshackle. There is a great tutorial at Blue Yonder. Let me know if you make any. If only they made bandannas in my size.
ReplyDeleteThe bandanna pants are awesome. Your projects and photos on this blog are stunning.
ReplyDeleteFunny, I think about Gram Parson's Nudie suit often, too. It's one of the image sources we gave to our illustrator as a reference for the cover design of our next book. It kinda sums up America, somehow.
Wow, thank you. I hope you also gave your illustrator a ghillie suit. I'd love to see an interpretation of a Nudie Cohn inspired ghillie suit. I'm looking forward to reading your next book.
ReplyDeleteNice idea--get going on that. When is hunting season at camp Ramshackle?
