This is the Sandra Betzina book and pattern that was published a number of years ago.
Here is the photo (I lightened some so I hope you can see) of the newest Sandra Vogue pattern. You can see the diagonal wrinkles and the funky butt wrinkle that I feel is just the result of the cut of this pattern (major tapering with no side seam). I will wear these pants with a butt covering tunic.
Below you see the results of the masking tape pattern of the QVC Denim and Co. leggings. The back will be much better with a flat seat adjustment.
As a P.S. The Morning Glories are loving our cooler mornings (in the 50's) and warm afternoons in the 80's. All these came from a seed packet that I think was 10 cents at the Dollar Store. I planted them in the late spring and they have just into their prime now that our 100+ degree temps have finally subsided!
What beautiful flowers! That Sandra Betzina book was a godsend to me when I first started sewing clothing again 15 plus years ago. Stylish designs and great instructions for techniques I didn't know. I never tried the pants but I like the idea of "one seams."
ReplyDeleteutioThanks for all the info on the different pants'patterns even the cloned one. I have never tried the D&Co ones from QVC. Maybe I'll try a pair in case I want a clone like you did. I like those that you copied. My track record with sewing pants muslins is really bad. Maybe I should skip the sewing patterns and buy masking tape. mssewcrazy
ReplyDeleteSorry about the utio ,was typing the word verification outside of the box. Lol! Obviously my computer skills are lacking. mssewcrazy
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the pants! Since I kind of have the opposite issue (no flat seat adjustment here ;) I don't have any good advice. The morning glories look beautiful. I have always grown those, wherever I am living. They always cheer me up!
