Then he bastes and experiments with draping and pinning the basted muslin so it fits perfectly and the important lines are where he wants them. The he redraws the new lines, recuts, etc. Multiple iterations before he cuts real fabric. A lot of mirrors are involved, and sometimes my help pinning and verifying lines.Susan Tinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11900811284963063686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-7674066016636167922012-02-01T15:38:54.107-05:002012-02-01T15:38:54.107-05:00I think you're on the right track.

I think if anything the looser fit of the culottes would be more forgiving. Not that I know anything, mind you, never having made loose-fitting pants *or* culottes. I think you're really just going to have to muslin to see, though. :)<br /><br />... it's so much fun to watch (read) you going through this.

I've been defeated more times then enough in my attempts to make respectable (wearable) pants of any type and it always seems to be related to crotch depth. My measurements are somewhat (ahem) larger then yours, but I always have hope of hitting on the reason and cure for baggy-ass-ed-ness.<br />Your blog is wonderful.<br />ElaineNEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004406864912930061noreply@blogger.com
