Customer Questions and Answers
I'm a reasonably experienced sewist and this is the first pair of real trousers I've made that fit. I'm 118 lbs, 5'3' and kind of butt-less (I'm 70 and my nice ballet-butt has disappeared) I raised the crotch by about a half inch which removed a good 1 1/2" out of the rear under-bum area and an inch out of the front. The finished pants fit like a custom tailored garment and I'm thrilled. Can't wait to remake this pattern over and over!
Excelente Patrón! lo realice en tela sastrera y quedo impecable . Su tutorial es muy fácil de comprender . Realmente me ha encantado. Saludos desde Argentina.
Really awesome pattern, easy to follow for a beginner like me. I can't wait to wear them!
I loved this project, but found that the sizes weren't quite right. My measurements are 27 inches for the waist and 37 inches for the hips. According to the size chart, I should have opted for size 4/6, but it was way too big! I'm judging from a person's photo, but I don't understand how the model can wear size 4/6 with 3/8" seam allowances for the sample. Shouldn't it have been too big for her too? On the other hand, size 0/2 was perfect for me! Gotta love the high waisted pants. I only modified the seam allowances: 5/8" for the outside leg seam and for the waistband. I kept the 3/8" for the inside leg seam, as mentioned in the instructions. I also shortened the bottom of the pants to accommodate my 5 feet 2 inches. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Perfect for a first zipper fly attempt. Overall, I recommend this free pattern, thank you!
Thank you for this pattern, I made it really easily (except for the fly which has always been a little bit tricky for me :)). The instructions are really clear and understandable with pictures of each steps. I love my new pair of pants and alrealdy plan on making a second one.
