The fit, the design, the details...everything. I don't suppose your teacher would want to think about doing an online class on PR, would he? 3/30/05 9:48 PM
CatherineN said... Beautiful work. You can tell all the hours that went into making the pants just by looking at the fit and details. 3/30/05 9:50 PM
Josephine said... Excellent pants-- you are so talented & skilled!! Could you tell me where you are taking these classes? I'm in Chicago, and although this looks too advanced for me I'd love to see what else they offer. 3/30/05 9:56 PM
Eli said... Josephine, http://www.ewsacademy.org is the site with information about his classes. You start from A and B, from sewing straight line on paper actually, so there is no such thing as advanced or beginner there - everybody is treated equally, only those with more experience are moving faster with the curriculum. Karla, I don't know if he would be interested. I can ask him and then if he has interest he can contact Deepika and talk specifics. 3/30/05 10:17 PM

Karla Kizer said... Eli, I'm especially curious about the waistband. It looks great, but does it hold its shape when the pants have been worn for a while? I'm wondering how it would work for lowrise-pants fans who have swaybacks. Is there an enormous advantage over the curved waistband we're used to? 3/31/05 9:24 PM
Eli said... Karla, it holds it shape after being worn. I cannot comment on the swayback question, if I do it will be pure speculations. The advantage is that it is easier, it looks better if the fabric has some sort of stripe (the wale of the corduroy and the black fabric too had some stripe). Note however that my pants are very low rise and the lower the rise, the less curve you nees, although you can curve the waistband by steaming it quite a lot actually. 3/31/05 10:33 PM
