THe new shop is a big improvement on the original (horrid basement). The already good supplies are that much improved. BTW, if you're going to use 2 inch elastic on the pattern I've referred to, add a 1/4 inch of additional width to the waistband. It will make it much easier to sew without running the risk of nicking your elastic when you serge. Or use 1.5 inch elastic with the width of waist band suggested.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-64929792696534929432013-09-03T10:48:58.400-04:002013-09-03T10:48:58.400-04:00My fitting friend, S, suggested this pattern to me...My fitting friend, S, suggested this pattern to me. We were confused because KS apparently has 2 diff patterns!<br /><br />Ah, slopers. They are so hard won. Sometimes, the cut of a pattern is just so divergent from one's shape, that it's better to move on. Maybe this is one of those?K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-14164526317705704672013-09-03T10:47:00.576-04:002013-09-03T10:47:00.576-04:00Victoria: Oooh, don't I make it seem that I ha...Victoria: Oooh, don't I make it seem that I have some idea of what's going on!?

I will definitely be looking into your sloper posts when I'm ready to make pants again. And yes, I too, have cut the rise too short and caused a lot of grief, though it sounds like yours was more modest error than mine, LOL!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-29294068794412181342013-08-31T19:54:49.526-04:002013-08-31T19:54:49.526-04:00Btw, Can you share where you got the 2 inch wide e...Btw, Can you share where you got the 2 inch wide elastic pls?Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04990191457997877760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-61242043343995820602013-08-31T19:54:20.243-04:002013-08-31T19:54:20.243-04:00I have this pattern kwiksew 3443
http://images.pat...I have this pattern kwiksew 3443<br />http://images.patternreview.com/sewing/patterns/kwiksew/3443/3443.pdf<br /> which has no elastic, but a fold down waistband and a cross over waistband. I tried the fold over waistband, but I reduced the width into half. <br /><br />And yes, I have the weird camel toe like issue like yours and I also think the pattern is too large for me (I used 'medium'), but if I go down a size to 'small', it looks like I will still have the same problem. I have a couple of Burda knit pants patetrns and I want to try that crotch curve next. I had tried a Burda trouser pattern before and that crotch curve fit me pretty good. So hopefully their knit pants patterns fit the same.

I'm still in the process trying to fit pants and it's such a painful progress... After lots of altering and 3 muslins I understand only one thing - that I totally don't get what's wrong with my body, haha. Btw, never had pants to fit me really well, neither from ready to wear ones, neither made by seamstresses. Oh, this mysterious land of "crotch"...<br /><br />Oh, and from my humble experience making waistbands for skirts: I'd never use skinny elastic, always grab wider one despite what instructions tell me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615863488539767498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-41195783897766351082013-08-31T16:23:43.837-04:002013-08-31T16:23:43.837-04:00I made 3115 about two years ago and didn't use...I made 3115 about two years ago and didn't use elastic at all. Like you I didn't like the idea of the skinny elastic, so instead, I believe, I cut about a half inch out of the length of the waistband. The material I used was a cotton/Lycra from Spandex World and it has held up very well, although they are now due for replacement.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393847636501599146noreply@blogger.com
