Made: elastic pants from Pants de Go

Project Notes: These pants were super easy to make! They also fit pretty well. I can’t wait to try trickier stuff from this book. I used a thin cord so they probably won’t last too long.

Mistakes/Complications: I added patch pockets, something not on the pattern. I used a contrasting corduroy for the pocket’s outer, but a patterned cotton for the lining. Cord & cotton don’t play that nicely together and as a result, the lining peeks out a little. Boo! I’d pin more next time, but now I’ve got a walking foot I’m probably ok.

Notes for Next Time: Now that I’ve worn these for a few months, I would probably try narrowing the legs a little if I make this pattern again, which I suspect I will! Very comfy pair of pants.
