The missing skinny pant photos:

Picked up camera batteries today so I'm back in business.

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!

  1. 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."

    utioThanks 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

  4. Great 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!
