Pattern Description:
Pants, blouse and skirt. I made the pants
Pattern Sizing: I made a size 10

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? 100% Absolutely

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? That I could complete it without my sewing instructor! Woo-Hoo, and that it fits and looks good enough to wear in public.

Fabric Used: Light corduroy, chocolate brown

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, tomorrow.

Conclusion: Best pants pattern so far. The fly and waistband instructions and pattern were so easy, straightforward and clear that I was able to follow along without any hiccups. I did not need any help at all. very impressed with myself. I made a small booboo on the zipper. The material does not cover it. Now I know and I won't make that mistake again.
I want to make these in a heavier material and in Black.

To see detailed pictures, please visit My Blog

You can see more posts on the Zipper installation

And also see the waistband

I did not hem these pants yet. I need the help of my Husband for that!

UPDATE: I just finished these pants in a nice black twill. You can see my Blog for more. Thanks!

	caper81 said... Your pants look great! I've been avoiding making pants for work (dresses are so much more fun!), but you make me want to tackle a pair with a fly-front zipper! I will pick up this pattern at the next sale :D PS, I notice you are a fellow Canadian! I'm in NS. The mention of Fabricville caught my attention (I looove that store!). :) 2/9/13 8:12 AM
