Second Pair of Pants

Yesterday I completed the pants in Twill – I wanted to see how the pattern would turn out in a less giving fabric than the denim I used (which has a lot of give).

The front is great – no fullness on the sides below the bum, just a straight side seam.

The side view is also good. The pants are about 1/2″ too long – I may take them up after I’ve washed them – I hemmed them at a 27″ inseam (my usual inseam is 27 1/2″ – given the way these pants fit I’m guessing I should use a 26 1/2″ inseam for hemming – I know my legs aren’t shorter!)IMG_4304

And the back fits nicely as well. So I guess this pattern is a keeper as it is.IMG_4305

A useful addition to my wardrobe.

That’s it for pants for now. On to other stuff.

  1. Pretty amazing! That Eurika pattern seems to have solved at of fitting issues for many! In the class I took there were many body types, and we all finished with a pattern that fit! Pat

    • I’m certainly pleased with the second pair of pants as well. When you compare the backs of that Eureka pattern you can see the adjustments they made – there are the most common adjustments for specific “problems” – so instead of having to draft an individual pattern from scratch a good bit of the work is already done for you. I can see why the pattern would work for a lot of women.
