Can't Touch This


I cannot believe what I am about to admit, but I can carry this burden no longer....

My mother (at my request of course) made me a pair of MC Hammer pants from this same pattern. Oh, Simplicity pattern #0693, how lovely you were in seventh grade! The pants were big, poofy, made out of shiny gold (yes, just like the video.) Most importantly, they were AWESOME! She even made me a matching top that was black with shiny gold polkadots. I wore them to my first official coed school dance. I was the best dressed person, there. I also wore them to school at least once a week for the remainder of the school year. What can I say, I was just 2 Legit 2 Quit...


HammerTime!!
FYI... YES, MC Hammer is still alive and NO you still can't touch him...

For anyone needing a "hammer fix" here's a video for you.

Ok MY hammer pants were made in this horrible fabric that was a pea green color with a black paisley print...I guess my mom wasn't aware what they were supposed to look like! I sewed them myself in my 7th grade home ec class and wore them every week as well!!!
