I have made the shift dress from the book which fitted me remarkably well with little alteration so I am hoping the capris may be the same way - when I summon up the courage to make them! I think you have achieved a really good fit - I love them with the black top. :)HoffiCoffihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872359396631142439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-32673094275068891072016-06-29T08:29:44.837+02:002016-06-29T08:29:44.837+02:00Thanks for the tip, makes perfect sense and I will...Thanks for the tip, makes perfect sense and I will definitely give it a try when I sew up my next pair!

Think of a j-shape, as opposed to a L-shape. Hard to explain, but on the pattern the curve is very tight/sharp. I relaxed it, and let it down, and so took off an inch at the top of the inner thigh/inseam. Try it, it might help :)PinhousePlaymatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116223260537085062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-19174798246301434602016-06-28T23:40:52.767+02:002016-06-28T23:40:52.767+02:00Awesome pants and fabric, love the silver pinstrip...Awesome pants and fabric, love the silver pinstripes! I recently used this pattern to make denim shorts (as a wearable muslin) and was surprised by how fast they came together and how easy it was to achieve an acceptable fit. My shorts are also somewhat baggy at the crotch, though, perhaps the pattern is just drafted that way?Irishttp://irisarctica.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-59937771214074781472016-06-28T23:16:05.268+02:002016-06-28T23:16:05.268+02:00Yes, I would much rather have them baggy at the fr...Yes, I would much rather have them baggy at the front!!!!<br />I will work some more with this pattern, hopefully I'll solve the problem :)PinhousePlaymatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116223260537085062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249988244979975036.post-89730245918257900652016-06-28T21:54:43.132+02:002016-06-28T21:54:43.132+02:00The second pair turned out very well :) I can see ...The second pair turned out very well :) I can see that they're a little baggy at the crotch, but with this kind of trousers I rather think they would have to be to avoid the dreaded camel toe.
