Brown and stripey pants 3F Burda easy fashion F/S 2009

It is so interesting how a different fabric affects a pattern. These pants had to be perfect as the orange ones, right?



But, noooo. What is that in the back??? This woolen blend is much heavier than linen and has much more drape. So there we have a waterfall under the behind. I'm curious to see what will happen after the test wear. It is still too hot to wear them, though.


And here we have some closeups.







I reused a zipper and buttons, lined the pockets with some matching vintage silk, and finished the facing with gold bias tape.
All in all I'm very pleased with the result. The pants are very comfortable as the fabric is a little bit stretchy. Now I'm curious what could happen if I chose another type of fabric. Like velvet, for instance? I'd love a pair of warm and orange pants for the winter!

Ciao!

Outfits

The test wearing of the orange pants went very well. Too bad it is getting cold so I won't be able to wear them more.



Here we have two new garments from the autumn/winter sewing plan. Pants and cardigan!



Next up - a post about the above!

Have a nice evening everyone! :-))
