Gigi, love the idea of negative ease waistband. Can't wait to see the photo. Did you make the jacket too?

That's a nice design. My favorite (rtw) workout pants have that same "negative ease" design and I plan to copy them. I was making a similar pair from a Burda pattern and I kept trimming more & more fabric off the elastic waistband to get them to look like my "negative ease" pants. :)

Gigi, you've done it again. These are exactly like pants that my DD and I bought at the Gap a few years ago! I've been toying with the idea of copying them, since DD's are her cool weather lounging/studying uniform and if they wear out, she'll be running around that apartment with God-only-knows-what exposed... Thanks for finding the pattern for me! PS: The Gap pants are made of what I can only describe as a very stretchy sweatshirt kind of stuff that looks like French terry cloth inside. I saw something similar months ago at Hancock's. I think a beefy cotton/lycra knit would work well, too.

Good idea, Karla! Christine Jonson's C/L would be great, wouldn't it? Deepika, I did not make the jacket - I forgot to note that and will edit my review when I get a photo up.

Gigi-Thank you for reviewing this pattern! I have been wanting some decent looking "at home" clothes, too. I just ordered 5 yds of claret velour to make an outfit for myself. This pattern is exactly what I want.

Gigi, you know you recommending a pattern is like Oprah recommending a book.:-) Looks like we'll all have to make room in our pattern stash for Simplicity now!

Cute pattern...Gee, Gigi, you introduced me to Kwik Sew, and now you're about to lead me to Simplicity! This pattern is great, and it sounds like you did a great job customizing the pants. Can't wait to see your photo!

I nearly bought this pattern when I was home, but for some reason didn't. Do I regret it now! I did buy another Simplicity @ Home, 5923 that I hope to make up soon.

This is almosty an exact copy of the New Look 6224 pattern I just got to make Yoga wear !! I should htink about making them in some fancier fabrics !!

Great review Gigi! the negative ease is very combortable way of adding waistbands like this, they look very good.

I agree with Renee. If Gigi is recommending a pattern it will be certainly a winner. Gigi, your pants look so good on you, like all your other clothes.

I think I know what you mean but I'm not quite sure..Could you please explain what negative ease in waistband means. Thanks

Peggy, that means I cut the waistband smaller than my measurements so that it would hug my body and help hold the pants up.

Gigi, great pants! I have a pair I bought at Target for el cheapo price which I've lived in--perfect for pulling on to take Nelson to school until I can come home and dress for clients. This will save me the pain of copying that pair. BTW, my RTW pair is made of a jersey, and the detailing is exactly as you chose to make yours (no surprise there). And, I have found that since I started lowering the CF my pants fit so much better--no more extra fold of fabric at the waist. The lightbulb went on when I held up some of my RTW and noticed, as you comment above, that the front is indeed lower than the back. Thanks for the review and the pic, they are darling Nan

How did I miss this review? Another winner Gigi! I too will be adding Simplicity (gasp) to the pattern stash - I love pants like these (esp as I forge thru the 40's : ) )

I Love, Love, Love these pants! Absolutely adorable!
