The cherry capris are finished!

I've finished the cherry capris! As it turned out, I had an odd red button in my stash that was perfectly matched to this shade of red. I'm not sure where it came from, but I put it to good use here.

I must admit that I wore them for an evening before I did the buttons and buttonholes. They're just that comfy. For the next pair, though, I have a few changes to make to my pattern pieces: back waistband depth, zipper shield length, pocket bags (to extend them the full width of the front including fly extensions), back inseam length, etc. These are not major changes; I'm just tweaking the pattern I drew from my block. I determined after basting that I needed this much ease. I'm rethinking that for the next pair. We'll see how these look after they're washed a couple times.

Next up, a couple more t-shirts and some khakis in this same vein!
