6/2010 #31 "Paperback writer" pants Pattern Description
Slim cut, zipper fly pants Which view and size did you make?
width 134, length 140 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?
Overall, yes. The zipper fly had picture instructions in this issue. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like how they turned out. I think the fly facings were a little too short, so you need to lengthen them a bit. It was also too wide for him at the waist, and I measured him. I was able to adjust the pockets a bit to get the right width so they would fit him. Fabric used
stretch twill, woven for pocket linings and belt loops Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Added embroidery to the pockets Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
I would only make this with a stretch twill or denim. It is slim cut, but they need to be able to jump around and move, even for skinny kids like mine. I tried making it again with a wool, but it was too slim for a non-stretch fabric and it was a wadder. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
This is part of the s.w.a.p. so will show later.
