treefrog said... Great pants - very distinctive. You put a lot of effort into this review which is extremely helpful. Did you get the shirt pattern as well? 11/25/10 3:16 PM
FreyaStark said... A very impressive effort, and they look good on you. Personally I would prefer to use an easier pattern. 11/25/10 3:22 PM

Re Becca said... They do have interesting details, and you really perfected the style and the fit. Your pants look fabulous! I love their shirts and jackets, but I will admit that I have never gotten their pants to fit well. 11/25/10 8:43 PM
Margaret said... Thanks, everyone! Treefrog, I didn't buy the shirt although it looks like it's still in print. I've bought one Marfy pattern each for a different shirt, a coat, a jacket, a skirt, and these pants, to get some idea of how each type of garment might fit... but this is the first one I actually got around to sewing. Re Becca, that's good to know... maybe most of their pants patterns ARE drafted similarly... the proportions on this one don't seem very realistic for a majority of people, at least in the not-small size I used. 11/26/10 4:24 AM
MNBarb said... I'm just sitting here so impressed with your pants-fitting. I can't even imagine a pattern with no line drawing and no directions. You must be VERY patient and adventuresome. The pants look so great on you. The detail of the pocket is really unique and gives a flattering line to the wearer. The review shows a good lesson in perserverance. 11/27/10 1:15 AM
MNBarb said... PS. You might be interested to know, I just looked for the book "Pants and Skirts to Fit Your Shape" and it's selling for $120 on Amazon. Hang on to your copy. 11/27/10 1:20 AM
Margaret said... Thanks so much! I think you can still order new copies of the book for about $30-35 from a relative of the author(?) through their own site (minottmethod.com, NAYY). 11/27/10 3:39 AM
