Pattern Description:
Close-fitting pants have elastic waist, three construction methods for pleats in knee area, back yokes/pockets, and stitched hems.

Pattern Sizing:
8-24. I made a 14+

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Love the forward side seams and the fit.

Fabric Used:
Ponte knit of mystery composition bought by the pound from SAS Fabrics near LA, an odd-jobber.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Omitted back pockets. Cut the back leg piece as one (removed the seam behind the knee). Topstitched both the outseam and the inseam.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes. This is my second pair. Read the review of the first pair.

Conclusion:
A new TNT. There will be more in my future. I may even make them for my finicky DD.

More pictures of pair #1 and pair #2. The top shown with pants #2.
