Lorna C. Newman said...
Great review and great fit. Just one question, why limit this to only capris? Why not extend the leg a bit longer and you have a wonderful TNT pant!

Sew4Fun said...
Lorna, no reason at all. I'm just in summer mode so it's hard to think about long pants. :) I'm sure come winter I'll follow your great suggestion. :)

These are *great*! Love the waist treatment. Great call on the addition of the pockets and front zip. Gotta dig this pattern out....

Ahh, that fine Burda fit, and you certainly know how to tweak it for yourself!

Wow, this was an excellent review. I loved seeing the process of your alterations because I can learn from them. I have yet to attempt pants.

Love your review. One of the best on pattern alteration that I have seen. YOur back alteration for a flat rear end is different from any I have seen and it looks really interesting and you certainly got great results. I'm not sure what tummy you are referring tol The pants look great on you.

A great review and terrific fit on your pants. Thank you for your clear explaination of the process you followed. Your photos are so clear--I'll have to try this pattern.

Nancy, the back alteration is different from anything you have seen because I made it up myself. :) I have never seen it in any book.

Wonderful Belinda! You look like you've lost weight? These are very slimming on you! You & Debbie are such inspiration at fitting & alterations, let alone the sewing techniques.
12/1/06 10:07 PM
Sew4Fun said...
Thanks Laura, I have lost weight. Not much but enough that I notice a difference. The slimming effect is due to removing the baggy excess fabric from the back leg. It makes a big difference IMHO.

Belinda,your capris look fantastic!

Glad I didn't miss this excellent review. After an interruption, I'm still perfecting a Burda pants pattern. Your illustrations and explanations are so helpful. Thanks for sharing your expertise so clearly, once again.

Belinda, love your new turquoise capris too. The gros grain adds a high end look(nice) . Your machines must be smokin' girl :))

Wow, these look great. I've been looking for a good capri pattern and this was on my short-list; looks like I will have to try them. Thanks for such an excellent review.
