Bukser / Pants

Min niece kastede sig ud i at sy bukser. Ikke bare elastikbukser, som jeg syntes hun skulle starte med, men RIGTIGE bukser med lynlås og det hele!

My niece wanted to sew pants. Not just pants with elastic band, which would be my choice for a beginner, but REAL pants with zipper and all!

Jeg har det problematisk med lynlåse. Jeg synes altid beskrivelserne er helt ulæselige og jeg skal pille op 100 gange. 

Men jeg har EN bog hvor jeg forstår det. Der blev stadig pillet op, men ikke hæsligt meget. Syntes faktisk det blev ok! Bukserne blev faktisk gode, og hun var glad. Det ville jo være ærgeligt hvis hun bare mistede lysten til at sy, men hun har allerede planer om næste projekt. 

I have problems with zippers. I always find the instructions totally hopeless, not helping me at all, and I always need to do it over a hundred times. 

But I have ONE book that makes me understand. I still have to redo it, but not too much. I do think it turned out well! The pants were actually okay, and she was happy. Would be a pity if she lost her will to sew, but already she has plans for her next project. 

Dagene flyver faktisk af sted. I går var hun i teltet for at blive testet igen, og så venter vi på at de IKKE ringer, for så er den negativ. Igen. Skolen starter på onsdag, og det er rart at have hende klar til det! 

The days fly by. Yesterday, she went to the tent for another test, and then we'll just wait for them NOT to call, because then it's negative. Again. School starts on Wednesday, and it's great to have her ready!
