NancyZL said... Looks good ! Where did you get the fabric? I made 2 pairs of knickers for x-country skiing over 20 years ago & still wear them (1 wool & 1 heavy stretch corduroy), so am sure the $$ for fabric is worth it! 1/15/11 9:08 PM
Terri A said... Well WOW- ski pants. Your review is great thanks! 1/16/11 4:35 AM
annakeeton said... Thanks for your nice comments. In response to NancyZL- I bought the fabric from The Rain Shed in 2009. 1/16/11 7:54 AM

JillyBe said... Thanks for a wonderful review! I see this pattern isn't available at PR; you've made me want to get my mitts on a copy!

ClaireEmily said... What great ski pants - I'm glad they turned out with just the right warm factor. I have skiing envy right now =) 2/5/11 3:43 PM
AnneM said... Excellent, great design feature on this pattern with the articulated knees. Sounds like these worked out perfectly for you! 2/5/11 4:46 PM
2takeKate said... As a hiker/snowshoer/bike commuter, I totally agree about the simpler elastic waist and articulated knees being important! I will have to pick up this pattern somewhere, unless I can modify something I have in the stash. It's totally worth it to spend on good weatherproof fabric - these are built to last! Great job. 2/10/11 5:07 PM
RachelStonebreaker said... Thanks for posting the comments on your thread, needle, and the seam construction. It's comments like that as to why I read reviews. No offense to others but something like, "nice pattern, I'd sew it again" doesn't do much for me. Your review gave me a helpful tip about the thread. 3/3/11 6:24 PM
