Posted - Jun 18 2008 : 10:41:20 AM Hi Everyone! I'm working with a pattern for a pair of wide-legged pants (Indygo Junction 776- Artisan Pants). I cut the tissue paper pattern already to my size, which of course doesn't fit after making the first pair up. I did make a paper copy of the pattern after it was cut (I hate tissue patterns!)... I am adding size to the pattern- in the hips and belly and butt area. If I add just to the outside of the legs, will that cover the increase I need for the front and back as well (or will it just make saggy thighs?)? I've done one pair with increases at all seams, and it worked out well. I just would like to check if there's an easier way to do this than trying to increase the crotch sizing.
Thanks for your help- Kim in NC |

Posted - Jun 18 2008 : 12:20:15 PM Does your pattern offer crotch-depth sizes Kim? You measure this by sitting on a chair and measuring from your natural waist to the seat of the chair. My concern is that without altering your crotch seams as well, you may end up with pants that pull down at the back every time you bend over! Di |
