I'm not really a trouser wearer, prefeing dresses, but decided to make a pair of sunset loungers as pyjamas bottoms. However, once made with no alterations(unusual for me) they were so comfortable and looked presentable that i wore them out during the day...success!!
Very nice result. Fit well and the yoga waistband is extremely comfortable
I have been enjoying this pattern and it's potential without having to manage modifications! I made cozy thick winter pants that look like dress pants for work and spring lightweight fun pants.
The pattern instructions are clear and easy to follow. This would be a great beginner pattern for sure.
The options are many!
I've never successfully made pants for myself before - I'm a bit of an odd shape. This pattern seems to fit with no alterations! I used a nice scuba material as my muslin, and I'm sure being a good stretch helps - but they're flattering as well as comfortable. I'm sure I'll make more!
I have not made them yet but I love the pattern
