I wasn't totally sold on them at first, I wasn't sure about the wider leg look. After finishing them I appreciate the fuller legs. I used a super awesome 100% cotton denim I picked up for ONE DOLLAR (over four yards!) at a thrift shop. I lined the waistband and made the pockets with an electric blue cotton (possibly a quilters cotton blend material- it was a goodie I got off Freecycle.) 
All in all, I think I really like these. They sit nicely in front. The backside is a tad snug but I can easily alter it a bit. It was my first time making welted pockets- I'll do better next time but they look pretty dang good to me.
Just seen these on Burda and clicked through, these are great. Good to see these on a curvier person rather that a slimmer person trying them out! I think they are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tasmin! I'm a devoted skirt wearer because of problems fitting my hips/thighs AND waist. I am so happy that someone created this pattern. I've used non-curvy patterns and altered them but they just aren't right still.
ReplyDeleteNice! I love trousers and jeans (I have two jeans cut out on the floor but have been distracted by a denim skirt pattern at the mo' XD) and the red is awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh those look amazing! I love the color and for only $1!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have like zero butt wrinkles! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's a major compliment! Thanks... butt wrinkles are a so annoying!
DeleteThese look great on you! I'm in the throes of pant fitting for my similar body shape, except with a couple of decades of gravity thrown in! This pattern looks encouraging. I'm impressed with the smooth backside;)
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog and am enjoying the inspiration of your attractive and practical creations.
