OK, so as my sewing improves, so does my need for trying new patterns, and here is one I’ve bought some time ago and finally got to try out: The Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants. The name of the pattern is a true indicator of how easy these pants are to make. Ruffles and all, it took me about 2 hours to finish two pairs that I was working on simultaneously, seriously, how cool is that? I would say the only tricky part was cutting the fabric because I chose a chevron fabric and it would only make sense to have it match, right? I did have to pay special attention to my sewing to make sure everything lined up correctly but it was mostly because of my fabric of choice than the pattern itself. I purposely made these two pairs in these two colors because I found a matching iron-on patch that I could apply to a simple white t-shirt and have 2 different outfits out of 3 pieces of clothing, since the top matched both pants perfectly. For a 2T size I used about a whole yard mostly because I had to make sure the chevron print lined up perfectly for both leg pieces and also the ruffles (which I love!). This sure is a fun and easy pattern to try out and it also works for shorts. I will be trying to make some for my little boy next. You sure get a lot of bang for your buck (even a doll version is included).
Enjoy!
