m/m said... I've been wondering about these pants too. The warnings are a huge (maybe pun intended?) help for the rest of us but it's too bad you ended up going through so much extra work making these. Thank you for sharing with us. 8/17/11 8:06 AM
Renren said... I do like the way they look! Thanks for the info about the Brussels washer fabric--first time I've heard of it. Also, I have have read in two places (Sandra Betzina and a book on altering patterns) that you must take in the inner leg seam as much as the outer leg seam (side seam) when you narrow a leg, if that might be of any help to you. 8/17/11 8:41 AM
marthamyers said... Renren is right, I think. Probably I should try taking in the inner leg seam too. Thanks! 8/17/11 8:48 AM

sfshaza said... Yeah, when I looked at the pants from the pattern, they didn't excite me, though that top does look nice. I wonder if they'd look better in a more drapey fabric, though these look fine. I don't think they look as bad as you seem to think! 8/18/11 11:26 AM
