These turned out fabulous! And yay for minimizing the back gap, which is the number one reason to sew bottoms, in my opinion/for my body. I have that same issue with plevis bones sticking out, then bulging quads. Can't quite figure out how to fix it without resulting in a pants tent.Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191348308370886666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-43246746646252209812012-05-25T18:25:30.209-07:002012-05-25T18:25:30.209-07:00These are adorable!

I know I do need sitting ease, but I'm pretty sure I have too much in that area. That said, these shorts are extremely easy to move around in!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-10987842209842957352012-05-21T23:26:01.262-07:002012-05-21T23:26:01.262-07:00What is a Bella?

Regardless, I think you should go ahead and try making shorts -- my heart was quailing within me, too, but sometimes I just have to do it or else I'll just wibble forever...<br /><br />I agree that the fit isn't bad for if they were RTW, but being that they're supposed to be made for me, I am still hoping for better!Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-33238209482769011412012-05-21T23:24:24.518-07:002012-05-21T23:24:24.518-07:00Thank you!

I will keep in mind your tips for when I next grade up a pattern.<br /><br />I adjusted the pattern after I made my first muslin, but rather than make a second, third, and fourth muslin, I just kept correcting my second muslin and making corresponding changes to my paper pattern. Being that it was my first time ever making pants, trial and error made more sense to me than just adjusting a pattern for things I wasn't sure of. Now that I've seen some of how slope and depth can affect the overall shape, I think I have a better idea of how to adjust the pattern.Cation Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785063344305810736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479880960748887964.post-27342917283345604232012-05-21T23:17:44.342-07:002012-05-21T23:17:44.342-07:00I only thought of taking pictures on the playgroun...I only thought of taking pictures on the playground because of the rigging-esque bit, but I'm glad you appreciated them!
