Could these be the perfect pants pattern? Pretty Darn Close!
Louise is famous (and rightfully so) for her one seam pants. I've made more pairs of that pattern than I can count. This pattern is more fitted and has a side seam. It still has the elastic waist (oh so comfortable).
I could hardly wait to try this new pant pattern. It arrived in the mail on Friday and on Saturday (despite a cold that has taken hold of me) I went over the instructions. She gives so much detail, and the illustrations are marvelous. Then I found some fabric in the stash suitable for a muslin--and, hopefully, a wearable one. Got most of the sewing done yesterday and finished them up this afternoon.
According to the measurement chart I fit almost exactly into the size small. My hips measure just .5" smaller than the small, but the crot ch measurement was spot on. I decided to go with the straight small. I can't believe how well these pants look and feel. I do believe Louise is a magician. This pattern was made for me! Yea!!!!

Those are perfect fitting pants!!! Really very flattering.
ReplyDeleteThese fit you really well. But I think you did the work on these pants more than Louise did.
ReplyDeleteThese pants are super LInda! They fit like a glove. I really love the Katerine Tilton top in your last post. I don't know how I missed it!
ReplyDeleteLove the fit of these. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose look great, Linda!
