Sewing: My perfect pant
3 kudoz

My perfect pant

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Jean-ius: Reverse Engineer Your Favorite Fit »

Instructions

I also made the perfect length shorts with this pattern.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Unisex

Style: Classic, Casual, Traditional


Materials

fabric

What was your inspiration?

Mary Tyler Moore from the Dick Van Dyke show in the 1960's. She wore the cutest pants.

What are you most proud of?

I tapered the legs more than the original and shortened the length to create a 'cigarette' pant

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Pockets on the back really affect the finished look. I tried different shapes and sizes before I decided which one looked the best on me. Usually pockets are too small and then your rear end looks larger.
