4/2012 #26 Flame jeans

Pattern Description

slim pants with patch pockets

Which view and size did you make?

size 120

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes

If not, why?

Only difference was that I did single line of topstitching as it looked better on a busy pattern

Were the instructions easy to follow?

No

If not, why?

I had accidentally purchased the Finnish issue. These pants have a very different style zipper and the back pieces have no yoke or facings. Intuitively sewing it was very hard pattern, had to recut two facings and probably did not sew in most efficient manner but the final result is like the picture.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I wish the back had facings. Also, despite being a slim pattern, the side seams do not lie nicely but the back elastic skews them, this is one point I know that definitely is not user error.

Fabric used

Anna Maria Horner cotton velveteen

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

Add back facings.

Would you sew this pattern again?

No

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

No

Any additional comments

With instructions in understandable language these are definitely easier to sew.
