2/2005 # 26 Pattern Description
Casual summer pants Which view and size did you make?
size 116 with added length Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes If not, why?
- Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the details of the pattern, but I didn't care for the pattern order of instructions. Fabric used
medium-heavy weight cotton Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Rather than turning under the pockets, I lined them. I also switched the order of sewing the seams. I sewed the side seams first so that it would be easier to topstitch. I sewed up the inseam as the final seam step. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
This is the same basic pattern as a few of the items in this issue. Before you trace all of them, check the pieces against the others. The main differences is the length and pockets. I am making these pants as long shorts next!
