I am hesitant to post these awful pics, all they do is highlight my terrible pressing skills !!
But the Peta Pant pattern from Style Arc is another keeper. They are so comfortable to wear, easy to make and dont take a huge amount of fabric.
I think they would also make great Pyjama pants in a nice soft cotton voile.
These are a straight size 14 with no alterations except to the length.
I made the Grey ones as a test, I dont like how the pockets gaped, so I left them off on the Black linen pair. I tend not to use pockets anyway, so not a big deal to me.
They could be easily made casual or dressy depending on the fabric used.
Off to learn to press properly ;)
yes very nice fit.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding? I am so impressed with the pants, I didn't even notice any pressing issues. I have the Peta pattern too and I look forward to sewing summer linen pants. I agree this pattern would be perfect for PJ pants, too.
ReplyDeleteThankyou :) but you know what I mean, I always get that extra pressed "ridge" down the side seams, it looks terrible when you see it in a photo. I think I need to buy one of those long sleeve roll things that you iron with.
DeleteHmmmm...I really like those! How true to size are they? I'm between a l6 and l8 on their size range and only getting to pick one size really freaks me out!
ReplyDeleteI find the Stylearc pants very true to fit, I am a 14 and buy their 14 tops and bottoms and rarely have any fit issues.
DeleteOooh, I really like those! They look like they'd work better for me than the Linda ones that made me tear my hair out. Are the legs (particularly the thigh area) looser than the Elle ones?
ReplyDeleteYes, I prefer these to the Lindas, and they are considerably looser in the thigh than the Elle.The Elles are really just leggings but a bit looser.
ReplyDeleteI have just made the Petas four times in 3/4 length as PJ pants, and they have been so comfy.
