Thanks for alerting us to the narrowness at the ankle - I don't think I could get my humongous feet through that small an opening!

I had the same experiences with this pattern. Have no desire to make it again!

I forgot to add that the directions that came with the pattern were in French!

Missy where did you buy the pattern that the directions came in French my copy is in English. Thanks for the alert on the narrow ankle I was thinking about making this pattern. I will have to do some more thinking I guess.g about it.hi

I didn't have a problem with the waist, but I usually have to alter for a bigger waist and I didn't do that on these. The leg openings are narrow, but they worked for me. I was concerned though; they are not wide legs openings!!

Linda- I bought this at JoAnn Fabrics in Delaware of all places. I was amazed to find the French directions. It was humbling since my schoolgirl French is not too good. Luckily the pictures were adequate. Rhonda- for a shorty I have big feet, and there was no way my foot would slide through that opening! Another thing I didn't mention was that the fit in the crotch was good and required no adjustments.

This pattern sounds great for a first try and now that I'm warned about the hem needing more width, it's a "go" for me. By some fluke, I bought TWO of these patterns -I guess I really liked it!
