Peggy L said... Lisa - these look great even with all your "experiments". I was "behind the door" when waistlines were being handed out, too. Love this pattern and have just ordered the booklet for variations. 7/11/03 5:15 PM
SouthernStitch said... They look great!! I just finished struggling w/ a pair of pants for DD and I can relate to the frustration. Thanks for the inspiration and I am glad they worked out for you! 7/11/03 10:10 PM

Georgene said... Lisa, you deserve the prize for sticking with this project. Good save! They look very nice in the photos. You gotta love those 5/8" seam allowances when the need arises. 7/13/03 3:41 AM
Lisa Laree said... Thanks for the encouragement, everyone! I'd read so much about how great these pants were that I had to finish them to find out for myself. I just ordered the 'convert to flat front' leaflet, too... These may very well replace the slim-leg version of my favorite back-elastic waist pants, once I get the pattern tweaked! 7/13/03 8:56 AM
Lisa Laree said... i would've sworn the link to the pantsliner photo was working last night; hopefully it's fixed now... 7/22/03 1:19 PM
Diane E said... Wow, Lisa, these pants are very nice. I admire your patience and perseverance, as well! The pants liners look great - I always wondered what pants liners looked like! ;) Thanks for the motivation to pull this pattern out of the stash and sew it! 7/22/03 1:21 PM
AnneM said... You have a lot of determination! I have this pattern, & gray ambiance lining to make the pants liner for myself. 7/22/03 2:20 PM
Danvillegirl said... Great review and I appreciate the fact that you were willing to make them fit right. I sometimes just give up when something does not fit right after wearing. Now that my sewing skills are improving and I can better recognize problems I am more willing to get it right.
I have a few FSG patterns, not pants, but have not attempted to make any of them yet. Feeling more motivated now.
