I guess they're giving you as much opportunity as possible, or so they think, with the roomy pattern drafting. I say, find a stretch content you like, and stick to it. Then make the pants as fitted as possible with that degree of stretch in mind.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-62323976212101572792014-02-17T10:19:20.589-05:002014-02-17T10:19:20.589-05:00Apparently not final.

I'm just not feeling great about pointing to flaws given my current state of mind. But I agree, it would be perhaps my most useful strategy... I haven't heard of Judy K - should go look her up. And I do enjoy Jalie pants. I've made a couple of those patterns with success.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-44188753234805991322014-02-16T12:07:01.332-05:002014-02-16T12:07:01.332-05:00Ooh pants-fitting!

In my experience a lot of stretch pants patterns have been roomier than the intended fit. Perhaps the stretch reductions were conservative to give us room to fit? I hope you share when you're finished!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-26774987934333797382014-02-16T09:01:07.964-05:002014-02-16T09:01:07.964-05:00Well, I was very glad to hear that you are enjoyin...Well, I was very glad to hear that you are enjoying the process.

BTW, I do think you can cut the previous pants. I think for grain, what I learned in my pants seminar is lining up the pattern points on the knees is very very important to keep the grain straight -- ....With all that said, I love J Stern, Jalie and HotPatterns pants, but when I made Judy Kessinger's or Burda's -- they were disaster because I didn't use my own TNT patterns slope for the crotch curve. . (Sorry Judy!). I guess my Judy Kessinger pattern is still a work in progress. Good luck! I would think you could rock Jalie, though.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13197442485237029218noreply@blogger.com
