Pattern Description:
Misses Skirt, Pants and Knit Tops

Pattern Sizing:
6-22

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?
Instructions and illustrations were easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Like the overall style of the pants. They remind me of cargo pants. Love the pocket details and was pleasantly surprised by the double carrier detail and the front fly zip.

Fabric Used:
Sew Classics Bottomweight "Wrinklease" from Jo Ann Fabrics. 100% Cotton.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Added 1" of fabric to the back and 1/2" to extend/deepen the crotch.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Since I've made these twice already I probably will not sew them again however I highly recommend them to others.

Conclusion:
It had been a while since I'd made a pair of pants. This was the perfect pattern to "get my feet wet" again.

Great looking pants! I hadn't noticed this pattern at all, but looking at the nice lines, I can see why you chose this to get back into sewing pants. Thanks for the review.

Great pants. I've had these in my to sew pile for a while. Must move them to the top. I can see those would dress up a little if you left off the pockets. Very versatile.
