Acquiring Patterns

I checked out Amy Butler's In Stitches from my local library. It is due back tomorrow, so I photocopied and traced off the few patterns that interested me. I've got her wide-leg lounge pants, the kimono-style bathrobe, the oversized laundry bag, and the kitty tunnel.

I'm itching to make the pants because the pattern is just so rectangular I just can't believe it will look good on a human. I am hoping I will be proved wrong.
