| Diana M | 2/28/09 | Excellent review, I love all your pictures -- and isn't it great to make all those test garments and come up with something that fits so well!!! Nice job! |

| Meggie LuLu | 2/28/09 | Your pants look AWESOME!! AND W-O-W!! THREE pairs!! Annette, I think you've become a SEWING MACHINE!! LOL!! I bet you'll wear all three pairs, EVEN the T-O-I-L-E AND the M-U-S-L-I-N!! Right?! |

| Christas | 2/28/09 | WOW! WOW! WOW! EXCELLENT review! The pants are ALL amazing.... even the toile and mousseline (won't Mahler be PROUD!). Seriously, these are all fantastic. I have a feeling you will be doing a bunch more than walking the dogs in these fantastisimo new pants! |

| Peggy L | 2/28/09 | Wow Annette! You nailed the fit on these. They are perfect. I would definitely trace an extra copy of this and stick it in the safe deposit box. Did you say "Kwik Sew shows seam finished that have been SERGED????" |

| Annette1 | 2/28/09 | Peggy: Do you MIND? ALL you're doing is EGGING ON Meggie and Christa! You no sooner left your message, when Christa sends me a note to RUB IT IN and tell me they are CRACKING UP! Since you've sent me a BOOK on serging, perhaps you'd like to send me some DUCT TAPE too, and the next time I swing by to visit Meggie and Christa, I can slap a piece over their mouths when they feel the need to "crack up" at POOR LIL' OL' ME'S EXPENSE. :o)) |

| Karendee | 2/28/09 | Well,
You have done it--made another fantastic pair of pants. I hope you also wear your muslin and toile pants because they are great, also. At least wear them sewing or walking the dogs. Your work is super and the fit looks absolutely perfect. Do I spy a heel of a Lucchese pair of boots peeking from beneath those KS pants? Am I learning about boots or what? |

| Kay Y | 2/28/09 | I am so enjoying your reviews and especially your serger-related feuding!! Keep it up (but get a serger for Pete's sake!). BTW the pants look really good on you! |

| Mahler | 3/1/09 | One musline, one toile, one paaannnttts ... you could make a song with that. Those pants have a great fit. They are so sleek. Nice !!! I think that the dogs won't see the colour of it. ;-) As for the serger... Did I miss the party ? I have had a 3-thread Janome for 17 years. I want to buy a 4-thread, may be we could go together and get a rebate. It is just that Nebraska is a long drive from Montreal. As for your Burda pattern, it is not lost. I would guess for, you had it in your hand, you went to do something else and left it in an odd place ?!? Oh no that was my Burda pant pattern I left once in my son's room. ;-) |

| Heatherrique | 3/1/09 | Oh Annette, you are so much fun! I'm so glad that you reviewed this pattern which has been sitting in my wishlist for some time now...I adore this review: I feel like I'm traveling on this action-packed sewing journey with you... Thanks for documenting your experiences with this pattern. All versions of your pants are beautiful: the cut, drape, fit, everything that accentuates your long legs. |

| Grammy Gin | 3/1/09 | Great looking pants, Annette. Glad that you now have 3 favorite pants patterns. I imagine the wider waist is really comfortable. You've really been sewing up a storm lately. The typing must've slowed down a bit, lucky for you!! |

| HeyJane | 3/6/09 | Congratulations on your new and improved TNT. Last week I cut a dress bodice in a hurry and forgot to add S/A so just KEEP REMINDING us dimwits, please. Do not clean but spend your time more productively making pants. |

| Nana39 | 3/8/09 | great job on the pants, i would have thrown a lot more than the pants, because when things don't go right when you are sewing that's when they end up in that pile of unfinished things and then it reminds me of why i don't sew anymore |

| Sheila457 | 3/21/09 | Great slacks and awesome review. |

| Joan1954 | 4/25/09 | So nice!!! Kwik-Sew... who'da thunk it?! Especially judging from the totally curveless drawing on the back of the envelope, eh? But these sure do work. :) |

| o3b | 6/17/09 | Thank you! Thank you! for putting up this review and sharing the pattern with ChristaS. I found your review from hers, and I, too, need to grade up to an XXL (although from your pics, somehow I think my XXL and your XXL are two very different sizes). I will need to make some of the same adjustments to the waistbands as you, and I appreciate your comment about how comfortable it is being cut on the bias. Does it stretch out with the day? |
| * * * |
| Annette1 | 6/18/09 | o3b: I have not noticed the waist stretching out, BUT I did use a very heavy denim for my pants, at least the ones that I wear all the time. I'd say make sure your waist really is snug enough and use an interfacing that will do a good job of stabilizing. (I sent you a personal message, too, by the way.) :o) Thanks! |
