Leslie in Austin said... Hooray for cute gauchos! Not nearly as cute as my denim vest and gaucho set (paired with rust colored suede knee high boots--I was da bomb in 3rd grade), but still very cute! Nothing like satiating that inner obsessive sewing monster, huh. 5/23/05 5:50 PM
els said... Your gaucho pants looks very pretty, congratulations on your redrafting well fit Kwik sew pattern. If you lengthen the legs from this new gaucho pants and use a very drapery fabric you can also have another fantastic pair of pants. The possibilities are endless. 5/23/05 5:51 PM
CarolynGM said... I had no idea that gauchos, a style I rather like, had returned to fashion. Yours look very cute on you. Clever use of your KS pattern. 5/23/05 6:03 PM
Allisonsews said... Draw back those horses, I think I'll jump on the gaucho bandwagon, too! These look fabulous - can I borrow your espadrilles? :) 5/23/05 6:14 PM
Mary Stiefer said... I really like these on your. what a great use of a pattern you really like. 5/23/05 7:06 PM
Jackie V said... I like your Gauchos. How would the foldover waistband be made. Would you use some very stretchy lycra knit? The black looks good with your strappy shoes. I think the length looks good on you. 5/23/05 7:09 PM
alicia said... They look so nice on you!!! Wow, that look takes me back ... 5/23/05 7:18 PM
PVA said... Hey, courtkal, Way to go! They're absolutely smashing! I like them with the espadrilles, too. I'm looking forward to seeing your next version! 5/23/05 9:45 PM
Maychi said... Wow, I love them! I didn't know what gauchos were. Now...I have to have them. Great job! 5/24/05 3:09 AM
Kathryn said... Cute, cute, very cute! You did an excellent job! Urban Outfitters had better move over~who needs them after seeing your creation! 5/24/05 6:23 AM
AnneM said... Cute outfit; very mod. 5/24/05 6:41 AM
Teri said... I had no idea that gauchos were back either. Thank goodness for our urban PR sisters. I will expect them here in Idaho next summer:) I loved mine in....well a long time ago:) 5/24/05 9:10 AM
Clev said... I love them. So cute when pants look like a skirt--thanks to you I'm going to try a pair myself. Thank you very much! 5/24/05 11:18 AM
CSchiffgens said... These came out really great. I've been following the goucho pant thread on the message board. I think you're the first one to produce something.
When you widened the legs - did you just widen the outside seam or both the outside and inside leg seam? 5/24/05 5:16 PM
sewkal said... Thanks for all the kind comments- glad I inspired some of you to jump onboard the gaucho bandwagon! I widened both the inside and outside seams- if I were to pull the legs out flat, they'd look like triangles. Jackie, I'm thinking that I will use the same type of stretchy knit for my next pair and just lengthening and narrowing the waist in order to make a roll dolwn waistband. 5/24/05 5:32 PM
Danvillegirl said... Very nice adaptation of these pants. I think your gauchos look great with the espridrilles as well. Good job. 5/25/05 5:59 PM
M.T. said... Thanks for the information. I thiunk I'll make a pair myself!!
With elastic in the waistband, does it gather or does the waist lay flat?
