Rebecca D said... Ann, I had the exact same problem with the waistband when I tried these pants. Next time, I'll try your method. I had so many struggles with the pattern (mostly my choice of fabric) that by the time I finally got to the waistband, I could have cared less about fixing it! The pants look great on you and your review encourages me to try again, as I like the design. 2/2/04 2:58 PM
SouthernStitch said... Great tip on the waistband. Your pants came out really nice- and good idea to lighten the pic - it shows more detail that way! 2/2/04 3:09 PM
Harriet Rogers said... Ann: the pants look terrific, and thank you so much for the comments. I had made the jacket, but not the pants (one of those "future" projects that ofttimes never get done). Now with your hints in hand, I will forge ahead! 2/2/04 3:16 PM

JDpenelope said... Nice drapey pants. I checked this review to see your use of wool jersey in pants. Very interesting info on the waistband--may try your technique of keeping the elastic flat (unstretched) in the front--when sewing Burda 3216 One Seam Pants (in wool jersey!) May try this pattern later. 1/23/05 1:47 PM
