I used size Small (as I found the size Medium too loose when I made the shorts version) and incorporated both the front pockets and the right mid-thigh pocket. I like lots of pockets for my clothing! I cut the length of the pants between view B and E because I wanted it to be trouser length. I inserted elastics for the waistband. It's a bit wider than any of my existing self-made pants but I figured that it`s nice and breezy for the summer. As long as I wear a more fitted top on top, the wide legs shouldn`t make me look too stumpy. Here is how it looks with the top tucked in (I never tuck in my tops):
Notice the pockets almost overlapping on the right leg:
I think it looks okay. It is a basic wardrobe element, after all. I think I will be wearing these pants often this summer! I also did a review for this pattern on PatternReview.com.
Love the pants: the linen, the pockets, the color, the fit! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks Beverly! I hope this colour green is versatile enough to go with everything in my summer wardrobe.
DeleteI love them too - casual basics are much needed for house wear. I love the pockets, and I don't mind the wide legs either - they will be really good to wear to do things in.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah Liz! I don't have a lot of long pants to wear in the hot summer but I think these will be practical and not too sloppy looking to wear out.
DeleteThese pants look great and very comfortable. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stars Threads! They are quite comfortable.
DeleteGood looking and comfie I like the colour too much better to sew than black
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy H! I have lots of black clothing already so I thought a khaki green will be a good non-black neutral.
