Made: Ringo pants from Ottobre 1/2008
Project Notes: These pants did not go so well. They looked very nice in the end, however and I might make it again. Sadly they are also already too small for V. I tried the one leg inside the other method for these pants, and it worked great.
Mistakes/Complications: The waistband was the biggest issue. First I realized that I had traced the pattern piece incorrectly, it was way too short. But when I did it correctly, and sewed it together it was waaay too long. I had to fudge it to get it to fit, and it ended up looking a little off. Actually the pants were just too loose, but too short - I had to take in the side seams and the darts, and in the end I just added a button so that the band could be closed more tightly.
Notes for Next Time: Next time, if I make it again, I’ll try measuring his waist and compare that to the waistband before I sew. They are flattering looking pants, but I don’t know if I’m going to try it again.
