Sizes: 8 to 24
Instructions: They are good instructions, nice instructions on zipper. I didn't follow them to closely since I made some changes.
Fabric Black ponte from Nancy's Notions.
Changes: My ponte had a nice stretch, so I eliminated the zipper, oh darn. I added 3" to the length and was able to use a 1" hem. The description states slim pants but I narrowed the pant from the knee down but 1/2" on the inner and outer seam.
I also used the instructions from Kwik Sew 3115 to add a bit of elastic to the waistband and it keeps my ponte pants up a bit better! I will have a tutorial on this technique in a day or two.
Conclusion: I am thrilled with my ponte pant and happy I have completed a garment for the sewalong.

ReplyDeleteI like the look of these pants! Look forward to tutorial on elastic.
ReplyDeleteI was kind of skeptical about the whole ponte pants thing, but I'm starting to see how great they can look. They're so chic and slimming, and I would never ever guess that they have elastic in the waist. The top is great too--the sleeves are really interesting--is that a Butterick?
ReplyDeleteThese look great! I want to make a pair!
ReplyDeleteI love your whole outfit. You could never tell your pants are elasticized - the whole outfit is so streamlined! You look wonderful.
