Linen Pants
comments (2) August 11th, 2009 in sewing, fabric, reader's closetI was so excited when I heard about this contest. It was the perfect challenge for me to practice my newfound knowledge on fitting techniques. To make these pants I used McCall's M5633 pattern. I had to shorten the pants so I basted them in the beginning and adjusted the placement of the pocket on the side and the loops at the bottom. Then I went back and sewed everything in place. These pants are made entirely out of linen and they are so comfortable to wear. I am looking forward to the fall contest!
Pattern or design used: McCall's M5633
