Bloomers, much better!

Yes! I finished the bloomers, more or less in time for the fundaiser (one day late). I'm pretty pleased with them and I feel they turned out very well, especially considering that this was my first time making the pattern, and my first time making french seams. Being a total monkey, I didn't take any pictures of my super stellar french seams so you'll have to pledge money to KDVS for the bloomers to see what I'm talking about.
Here is the size small
and here is the size large

The mediums have pink ribbons just like the large ones, all are quite cute. I made them out of some sheets that were donated to my sewing stash, so I'm really glad to have found something that worked well with the fabric pattern. Seriously, what was I going to do with light pink and green flower fabric? But now I'm thinking of making a pair for my boss's birthday because she really likes pink frilly things, we'll see what happens there.
For those not in the know, this week is the KDVS annual fundraiser, I made these bloomers as a pledge thank you. If you pledge $25 through the website or by calling 530-754-KDVS any time of the day or night before midnight on Sunday the 25th, you can haul home these bloomers; they are listed under the craft section. Now go pledge!

Bloomer style, bam bam

Some terrible pictures, but I had to mark the occasion somehow and all of the batteries in the house are dead! (which means no camera. lame.)
I finished one pair (of three needed) of bloomers!
Can you believe this is the size large? I shudder to think of what the small ones will look like.
I'm going to bed now, I'll post some better pictures later, like when it is light again. Cheers!
