Hopefully March will be a better month for your sewing project.<br /><br />I've yet to tackle this pattern. I want to so badly, but the motivation just isn't there. If there's one thing I've learned, don't push the motivation... nothing good comes from apathy :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-81526168111633995822012-03-09T23:16:23.377-06:002012-03-09T23:16:23.377-06:00They are not exactly perfect, but they are not a f...They are not exactly perfect, but they are not a failure! You are one step closer to knowing exactly what to do to get a good pair of pants. They look terrific and while they may be too tight, they are not so much too tight that you can't get them on.

I read once that when making pants, cut the seam allowances for 1 inch, for fitting purposes. I think it was a note inside a special perfect-fit-type patternAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500490363731355974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-34396024777886650362012-03-09T16:12:17.069-06:002012-03-09T16:12:17.069-06:00How disappointing!

It's hard to see because the fabric is dark, but it looks like you managed to avoid all those weird crotch wrinkles & stuff too! Lucky! Next time you make these, you'll probably just need to go up a size.<br /><br />On the flip side, whoever these end up fitting (hopefully Stephanie!) is going to have a super nice pair of pants.LLADYBIRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409560091790703554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624632908706778151.post-50093457904693990992012-03-09T07:25:48.552-06:002012-03-09T07:25:48.552-06:00Perhaps if you lowered the crotch curve you would ...Perhaps if you lowered the crotch curve you would have more room and they would fit better. I am just finishing up the pants fitting class on PR and strange as it seems taking in the seam line at the bottom of the back crotch curve actually gives you more room. You could baste it in to see if the fit is better. Is there no way to let out the side seams even a tiny bit? It is so frustrating to do all that work on all the lovely details of welt pockets and fly to have it not fit.BeccaAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839761273520524641noreply@blogger.com
