OK so right now these are not so cute. This is my muslin for the clover pants from Colette patterns.I bought around five yards to this 3% cotton poplin stretch at Joann's, so I would have plenty to make a muslin and a finished pair of pants. I cut a straight size ten, and they have a few problems. I'm using the pants pattern cheatsheet from Colette to try and diagnose them.
The first thing I had a problem with was the knees. They are tight, but do I have big knees or am I bow legged? They both sound bad. I think the thighs are tight and are causing the rest of the bunching, but I'm not totally sure. Or many my butt is tight, or maybe both? I never made pants but I thought this would be easy! I'm trying not to get discouraged. Any other diagnoses?
No Way! I'm having a "crafting week" because my Hubby is out of town, and these are on my list of sewing projects to get started on! I'm scared though - the construction of pants is easy, but the fitting: Yikes!
ReplyDeleteGet out of my head Gail!
DeleteAlso, I have a tee shirt almost exactly like that - from Gap, several years ago.
DeleteYou are brave! I have yet to even consider making a pair of pants. Seriously hard. I think you are well on your way.
