sewingformeWP Intermediate BRAZIL Member since 11/13/08 Posts: 63	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/12/12 11:20 AM I just picked up the 11/2011 issue in Brazil (don't know why it was still on the newsstands) and I want to make these pants. Unfortunately its in Portuguese and Google Translate isn't very good with sewing terms. If you have the English edition with this pattern could you read through it and give me a summary version of the directions? Are there any odd bits? I would really appreciate the help! ------ Learning Couture in Rio de Janeiro sewingforme.wordpress.com

Interfacing: See pattern layout. In­terface outer waistband pieces. Also interface the pocket bands. Construction: • Fold pleats in front trouser pieces in direction of arrows and baste. Stitch back darts and press toward centre back. • Stitch centre front seam, approx. 15 cm long, beginning at up­per edge. Press seam open. • Hip yoke pockets: Fold bands in half lengthwise, right side facing out, and press. Baste long edges of each band together to pocket open­ing edge of front trouser piece. Stitch pocket pieces right sides to­gether with pocket opening edges, over bands. Turn pocket pieces upand stitch to seam allowances, close to seams. Turn pocket pieces to in­side, turn bands up, and press. Pin pocket opening edges of front trouser pieces to side hip yokes so that band joining seam lies on abut­ting line. Stitch pocket pieces to­gether. Stitch front edges of pocket pieces right sides together (centre seam). Press seam allowances open. Baste pockets to wrong side of front trouser pieces. • Stitch right side seam and inside leg seams. Press seam allowances open. Stitch remaining centre front seam and centre back seam as con­tinuous seam. In back, press allow­ances of the centre seam open, from upper edge to beginning of crotch curve. Do not press seam allowances flat along crotch curve. • Stitch right side seams on waistband pieces (seams on inner and outer waistband unit as mirror images). Stitch interfaced outer waistband unit to upper edge of trousers. Press seam allowances of joining seam onto waistband. • Sew invisible zip to slit edges, from upper edge of waistband to slit mark. Stitch left side seam up to zip. • Face upper edge of waistband, see style 136A, but pin and baste in­stead of using paper clips and glue to hold edges and allowances in place. Do not topstitch waistband. Work from right side of trousers to stitch along joining seam, catching inside edge of waistband. • Turn hem allowances to inside. Work from right side of fabric and use the twin needle to stitch each hem 4 cm from lower edge. These are on my to make list so I'd love to see a review if you make them up.
