Pattern Description: semi fitted, straight leg pants with contour waistband

Pattern Sizing: I made about a size 12

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? yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that this is a easy pants pattern to adapt to Palmer/Pletsch fitting techniques: the waistband has side seams and there are no pockets.

Fabric Used: Stretch denim

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made a mock front fly and left out the fly protector.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I have made it twice and will make them again. I wholeheartedly recommend this pattern as a place to start for someone learning pants fitting. Details of the fitting changes I made per Palmer/Pletsch's book 'Pants for Real People' are at the links below.

Both pairs look really good, just two different fits - the second pair fits more like slacks; the first pair fits more like trousers in the legs. They both look comfortable and good on you.

Great fit! I'm going to pull that pattern out of the stash right away.

I am envious of your well-fitted results.

Thank you so much for sharing this, both pairs look great. I had been avoiding the challenge of trousers (pants!), but recently they have been calling, so I will arm myself with Palmer & Pletsch and your review/blog and start the assault course!
