said... When I made these pants I also found the crotch way too long. I thought it was my body, not the pattern :) I did use the ban roll but didn't stitch through it and it was fine. 8/14/02 4:52 PM
said... The crotch was long on the pair I made, too; like Melanie I thought it was me. It didn't look bad, because the pants were so full, but I didn't like the way it felt. Oh - I added sideseams so I could put pockets on... ;) 8/14/02 5:07 PM
said... Great to hear that someone is going through this book. I just acquired it and have been considering the closer fitting pants and vest. Has anyone done these? 8/15/02 10:24 AM
said... Susan, I have tried those patterns, and most of the others in the book. I just posted a review, which I hope will be helpful to you and the others who own this book. THere was a discussion of the No Time to Sew book at www.sewingworld.com a few months ago. If you look in the discussions from the last 6 months, you can find more info. 8/15/02 12:54 PM
