Happy Monday!
I hope that you all had a great weekend. We had most of last week off, so I am going to be very sluggish today. I did take advantage of the time off and made a couple of handbags.
Today I want to share Simplicity 1165. This is an easy pants pattern that will be great for beginners. I’ve wanted to make a pair of pants with this fabric from Fine Fabrics for a while, but I wanted the perfect pattern. I paired the pants with a white button down from New York & Company. Check out the pattern review below.
Pattern Description: Simplicity Pattern 1165 Misses’ Pull-on Pants, Long or Short Shorts
Fabric used: I’m not sure what type of fabric this is but it is thick, silky, and has a little stretch. Maybe a stretch cotton sateen…
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done? Yes
What size did you cut? 18
Level of difficulty: Easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it has an elastic waistband and I also like the different design of the pocket pattern. You only have to cut 2 for the pocket and it is assembled much easier.
Pattern alterations or design changes: I did not use the double elastic waistband method.
Would you sew it again? Yes
Would you recommend it for others? Yes
