The pants look great on your daughter. Thanks for the review. I bought this one (along with four other Jalie's) recently but have yet to make any of them. Your hints on the waistband will undoubtedly be quite useful.

Great review. I just got this pattern and have printed out your alternate instructions. Thanks.

Looks great! Thanks for the very helpful review.

Very thorough review, thank you. I have a daughter who would live in these.

Great information; your version of the waistband definitely looks more comfortable.

Wow, thanks for the very specific review. I love Jalie patterns, too, and was checking out this pattern. I agree that the getting fabric with the right amount of stretch is very important. Thanks for the tip about sizing up. I'm not too keen on tight pants for me ;)

Thanks for the helpful review. I wish I had a rear pic like that.

Thanks so much for the review. Wishing I had checked my email a few hours earlier! Just finished a pair in size 14 (kids) for dd. They are form fitting and she loves them. I will size up next time. I'm printing out your rewrite of the waistband directions -I was going to lose my mind. But in the end they look great (and yours too!)

Ooo, I thought about getting some of that velour at Fabricland! I ended up buying from Wazoodle instead - anyway, thank you for this review. I had just traced this off in my regular size, but hadn't cut into my fabric yet - I read this just in time!

Your pants came out great. I'm driven nuts by Jalie's directions. I've decided I won't make them unless I can't get a similar design from any other company. When you contact them maybe you should point out there are more English speakers in the world than French speakers ( I realize that's a sore point in French Canada and in France itself.)

Not having made serious efforts to read the instructions in French, I wonder if they are just as perfunctory in that language as well. It may well be that they just don't put a lot of work into their technical writing.

Thank you for the new instructions. I have saved them for future reference, when I get this pattern. Love how the pants look on your dd.

Nice looking pants and great review! I wanted to get this pattern, but have held off because i have similiar patterns from Kwik Sew and Simplicity. If I ever decide to try it though, I'll definitely refer to your review.

I would look awful in these pants, but your instructions on their construction are well worth the read. I won't make these but I will use your ideas for other pants. Thanks for your hard work and careful thinking!

Great Review, I was just about to cut this out so I am really glad I read this. Thanks for all the work. Have printed your instructions.

hi thanks for a very detailed review. was wondering: do you think these pants/shorts would stay up even without the cord? i hate the bulk of cords/drawstrings! thanks :-)

THANK YOU for taking the time to give us the corrected instructions! I may attempt this pattern NOW.

Thanks Connie for the helpful review. I have this pattern out and was questioning the construction of the waistband. Glad to see I'm not the only one. :) Thanks also for the sizing info. I thought my usual size looked too small. I'll size up.

Thanks, Connie! Great review as always. One note on the waistband. I scrounged around my wardrobe looking at other drawstring pants and found all sorts of methods for doing them. Ironically, my North Face windproof pants? The stupidly expensive ones? They do the waistband EXACTLY how Jalie tells you to. They use a coordinating mesh as the casing on the inside (but RIGHT side of the fabric...so against the body), snip a simple hole for the drawstring exit, and that's it. One thing I like...the drawstring is on the inside, so you don't look like you have a belly button outie because of the ties. I think I might try it this way just for curiousity. If the sewing gods are with me, my review will be up in time for the activewear contest. Just thought I'd let you know about my discovery! :)
