Pattern Description

"Elegance" pants

Which view and size did you make?

42

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

No

If not, why?

I altered the pattern to have a front zip and standard pockets.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes

If not, why?

-

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

I was looking for a more standard pants pattern (like #13, Practicality cropped pants, which comes in a larger size range only). I used the fronts/backs/waistbands/pockets from these pants and changed the style to front zip/standard pockets.

Fabric used

Stretch Cotton Poplin

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

After the first Otto pants I made for myself were a bit big, I went a little smaller for these pants, and they are a bit snug. I don't know if it's the style, the fabric or last night's ice cream binge...next time I'll cut a size bigger in this pattern.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes
