Pattern Description: Pull on pants of wide and slim leg variations with pattern hacking ideas and suggestions

Pattern Sizing: XXS-XXL

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

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I made the slim leg jogger version and even though they called it slim leg, they were huge and I had to do a lot of alterations to slim them down to more of a skimming the body look

Fabric Used: double brushed stretch knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Well I made a medium based on the hip measurement listed on the envelop but this ended up being giant so I had to alter them down to fit better. Could've easily made a small, possibly an xs

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I'll sew it again as the pants were simple and very comfortable. An easy pair that I'll use as travel pants to wear through an airport or something. Definitely recommend to anyone, even the most beginning as it's so simple.

They're cute and comfy and now that I know the sizing and easy it'll be easier to make the right size right off the bat.

Fun fabric and pants pattern. You got the fit right too after a few alterations. Thank you for sharing.

Too bad about the sizing but you managed to save it and the resulting fit is great.
