Harem Pants?

Anniehen · 2 hours ago Plus Member

I sewed them up today. I just have to finish them (elastic waistband and ankle cuffs). The pattern looks hugely voluminous, so I went down two sizes on the legs and hips, one size on the waistband. They are looking right at this stage. Will you be at...

Trouser Fitting

Cray_Mimi · 9 hours ago

I rely on TDCO with great success. Particularly when I followed her (Ruth) suggestion to size down (rather than up) AND to add a lot to the side seams. She isn't against increasing the cross depth (which some "scooping" does). She has a book out...

Facing Help Needed Pls!

Cray_Mimi · 9 hours ago

Maybe baste along the edge and pull up the bobbin thread ever so slightly to tighten up the opening then steam press. Then topstitch, ensuring the facing is rolled under.

Hi, I'm sorry the curtains didn't quite turn out the way you wanted - definitely tricky to do with a 30cm ruler! I have to be honest, I've never taken up curtains but I'm sure there are lots of people here who have. But I would probably measure...

Just Bought A Machine.

AnnieRose · 10 hours ago

Welcome! I think is very sensible to get replacements, so that you are not under pressure. I'm sure that you will be able to re-purpose the curtains for something (if not actual curtains). You have made a good start. I don't want to give you a...

Thank you, Hayley. I never did find a pair. I bought the Chanterelle Pants pattern and have some lovely khaki linen to make view B (I think). You are right, these ones you’ve shared wouldn’t fit me either in the hip, but would with the ease.

Hi Netty, I would say to take an even amount of fabric out of the inseam and the outside leg, rather than all from the outside leg otherwise it could end up looking a bit balloony!
