Slacks That Fit, Please!
Good morning! Just a quick check-in today! Between yellow pollen and the "yuks" life hasn't been too motivational for sewing. And I absolutely need to sew! I need clothes! I need to finish my latest quilt. Enough wining. Keeping a couple of afternoons quiet I found some very interesting Youtube videos on altering patterns, particularly pants. Clarity here: I am going to try to stitch some slacks that actually fit! But, the first time with the pattern and it was disaster! Too much backside fabric, despite matching measurements. Too much ease, not the right drape. Disaster. So, my search brought me to the "Top Down, Center Out" method. And it makes SO MUCH SENSE! I will link to the videos I found here. This method was covered in the Summer 2022 Issue #218 of Threads magazine. Here is the set of videos I found from the Crooked Hem. Enjoy! Enjoy! I will let you know my progress! #garment #thecrookedhem
