It is difficult to find vintage style trousers ready made that fit and I don't think I am capable of making any yet.

Your pants look fantastic, and given that the actual monetary outlay was only $28, they're quite a steal as well.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-89122054490604621892014-09-22T16:53:25.497-05:002014-09-22T16:53:25.497-05:00Those pants look quite smart on you!

Since it is a repo, it's also nice to see others tackling this pattern. Very good choice on pattern fabric and looks great too:) Looks very much like the pattern envelope:)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-79051867828716792072014-09-21T16:11:29.702-05:002014-09-21T16:11:29.702-05:00Those trousers are lovely!

I totally agree with you about the price of reproduction clothing and the issue with fit. I have had many a rant about it myself in the past. I'm just about to start making some capri pants. <br />Rowena xRowena Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754324791917088449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-422009987768144192014-09-21T14:58:36.219-05:002014-09-21T14:58:36.219-05:00I love these trousers, you did a fabulous job.

I am happy to hear that the construction challenges were essentially the "usual" - i.e., related to fit. Kudos on another successful sewing project! I look forward to seeing your future planned projects for this pattern.<br /><br />And thank you for this wonderful write-up of my shop, Midvale Cottage on Etsy - I love my little shop and enjoy providing vintage fashion inspiration from decades past to terrific seamstresses like yourself.

They aren't so difficult to fit as, say, cigarette pants (which I did first... very obnoxious). Pants aren't actually TOO hard, I will say! They all pretty much have 4-5 main pieces and thats it!Emileigh https://www.blogger.com/profile/13683866769745929646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-30535918751514726932014-09-21T03:47:27.488-05:002014-09-21T03:47:27.488-05:00Whoa!
