Bought a pair of awesome trousers from a resale shop=Can someone help me duplicate these for me? Can someone tell me are there patterns that fit this great? Is there something special about their patterns?
textilegram Member since 1/24/09 Posts: 16	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/28/12 9:49 PM I bought a pair of ladies wool/silk blend trousers from a upscale consignment shop- the brand was Carlisle. I had no idea that they were considered a very nice brand...just tried them on and wow! They fit! They look so good on me! The fabric feels and wears great! So here's my question. Are there patterns that fit like this or is there something special about their patterns. Is it the quality of the material, some workmanship trade secret? I feel silly asking all these questions but I have loved these pants and the way they wear so much that I want more like this! I went on the web looking for some more 'preowned' to buy and found out they are only sold in private boutiques and at trunk shows. I'd love to duplicate these. Any knowledge suggestions would be so appreciated! Syl

I don't normally bop in here... but I was cruising through the main list of topics and saw your post. I just saw something earlier today that might help you.... Do you know about Craftsy? Check out this link: Jeanius Class at Craftsy.com And don't freak out about that $50 class price... go look at how much their gift cards cost... and have someone else buy it for you ... I'm sure you can save some money. And... even at $50... if this gets you into copying those pants you're in love with... it's probably a great bargain!

Date: 11/28/12 11:01 PM If you don't want them right now, Craftsy does run a lot of sales- I bought the class for $15 last month, and did the Sandra Betzina pants fitting class this month.

It would work for any type of pant clone. I just did the first video. I can't get back to it until after Jan but can't beat that price snd it never expires. ------ re-living my youth through sewing...

Date: 11/29/12 8:00 AM It is unanimous I just checked Craftsy and the Jean-ius class is still on sale for $19.99. I took the class and it is fantastic -- and not just for jeans. The techniques can be used for any pant. In fact, although I have not tried it, I think the techniques Kenneth King teaches can be used for any garment. RUN to craftsy. It is so hard to get a great fitting pant that it will be worth the money
