We, as a family, are spending a few years developing a farm project. Off-grid, solar-powered, well and rainwater, free-range animals, thousands of trees, fruits, vegetables, and honey, and no TV. We live among the vineyards, bee hives, and wild birds. It sounds idyllic, and in a way, it is, but it is a lot of hard work. There is no place for silk dresses or Capri Swarovsky studded sandals here. My accessories are an apron, gloves and rubber boots, for this chapter of my life I require a new wardrobe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These pants are the first item on my list; this cargo pants free pattern will make a pair of gardening pants and some pants for dinner paired with a short Channel-inspired jacket. There is no need to look frumpy, even among my potato plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These cargo pants have an elastic waist for ultimate comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n
