I found a pants pattern that I like but I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this?
the site is: http://www.brensan.com/Garment/slantpocket.html

The pattern is available in a print version for $19.95 but also available in a digital download version. I'd prefer the digital download version but don't have any experience with that.

Has anyone tried this pattern or a digital download in general?

Here is your link: pattern link

I have never downloaded from this company, but have used some Burda and Kwik Sew downloads.

Downloading patterns is not difficult, but keep in mind that in return for the decreased price, there is some work that you will have to do.

Since the pattern will print out on letter-size paper, you will have to tape it together, and then trace a copy for use. Some people find this to be troublesome and well-worth just purchasing the pattern. I don't mind it, I generally make a day of it and will tape or glue together quite a few downloaded patterns on a Saturday afternoon and do all my tracing at once.

The problem then is storage. They don't fold the way that other patterns do. I generally roll them up and store them with my upholstery fabrics, and put the traced copies in manilla envelopes with the rest of my patterns.
