Fellas, hope you’ve been having fun sewing!!!!!. I have been busy working on this simplicity pant for some days now. I made three different muslins , read lots of books and visited some blogs just to make this pant as fitted as I can, in the end I guess all my effort paid off. Here is a review of my amazing pant. My first fitted pant ever. The first pant I ever made was a disaster!!!! so this is the second one.

To be honest, I have been avoiding making pant because of all the problems associated with its fitting and all the complaint have heard from even experienced sewist, but I decided to challenge myself and give it a try.
In the making of my pant, I used the amazing tip I read on Debbi’s blog. This tip is so impotant for some of us with inner-thigh issue I used just the Minott method but I intend to incorporate Sandra’ s method in my next pair just to see if it will make any difference, but for now I think I am cool with the outcome of this. However, I will appreciate additional suggestion/comments from you “gurus” out there.

For my pant, I used Old Navy Twill and Bemberg rayon lining for the pocket and cut out size 16.
I lengthen the back crotch length by making a wedge of 1 ” on the back and I folded the same amount of wedge in the front, then I used the minott method for the full thigh alteration.
I completed my pant by following the pattern instructions which were very easy to follow, but as usual I used one of Sandra’s method to create a professional look by using a bias tape to close the crotch seam .
This is my first pair of pant ever , and I am proud of the outcome, however I am still researching on how to make fitted pant and to continuosly improve my sewing skill.
The pant pattern alterations are shown
(a) Back wedge alteration
(b) Front wedge alteration
(c) Back full-thigh alteration
(d) Front full-thigh alteration
My Complete pant, pardon my pictures, they aren’t so great, these are the best I can get with the color of this fabic (Coffee brown).

The back needs to be pressed propely to remove the wrinkle


Please ignore the date on my camera, I don’t know how to reset it, it’s kodak Easyshare, please if anybody knows how to do this I will appreciate the help, reading manual is the last thing I want to do now.

Have fun sewing and happy holiday :-) Aminat
