Sometimes it’s fun to follow a fussy pattern exactly – keeping things orderly, clean and exactly as written.
And then some patterns are strictly fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants improvisation!
My hubby has been wanting a particular kind of suspenders for awhile now. He’ll meekly ask if I can make them, and then patiently wait… And then ask again sweetly. It’s a good thing he’s patient 
He’s got a few requests for them – they’ve got to sit right there, but not with suspender clips – can we use snaps instead? How about some elastic so they can adjust as you sit or stand?
I’ve never come across a pattern for this particular kind of suspenders, so the process was pretty much figuring out things from photos and measurements. A challenging project – but satisfying to figure out too.
The suspenders are finally finished – with those kinds of clips, and elastic and it fits right just there… and with no pattern!
