Simplicity 1283 Mimi G Knit Pants

ニット生地で、パンツを作ってみました。
型紙はシンプリシティの1283番
先週?作ったタートルネックシャツと一緒の型紙です。っていうか、タートルネック着てるし。タートルネックの上に重ね着してるのは、ちょっと前に作ったカットソーです。あら、そしたら全身自作服コーデですね。
生地はレーヨン/ポリエステルブレンドのポンテ・ローマ(ポンチ?)。犬の毛が超つくんだけど。
前身ごろのお股部分と後ろ身頃の太もも周辺のフィットがまだまだ発展途上。
ちなみにもう暗くなるのが早くて屋内写真となったので、黒いパンツが見えやすいように写真の露出最大限にあげています。


I thought I had a late start this morning, but fortunately, the day light saving time ended and I had an extra hour! So I got on sewing and made knit pants today.

The pattern is, again, Simplicity 1283, Mimi G design pattern. I made View C, which is the knit pants.

I used poly/viscose/spandex ponte. The fabric is jet black. I have increased the exposure on these photos to see the wrinkles.


I cut size 12. In order to fit my non-existing waist and ever so protruding belly, I eliminated the front darts, which add 2" to the waist circumference.

Also, I am short (5'3") and short-legged on top of that, and I don't wear high-heels, so the legs were obviously too long for me. I raised the knee by 3".


The pants are a bit too high-waisted for me, so I shortened above crotch by 1.5". I also did a low butt adjustment by scooping the crotch curve deeper. Here is the photo showing the original seam and my low butt adjustment. (I used my cover stitch machine's chain stitching to test the fit so it's easier to remove the stitches)


The pattern calls for a back zipper and hook & eye at the waist band. I eliminated them both, and put a 1.25" elastic in the waist band. That makes these pants essentially yoga pants! But hopefully they look nice enough to wear it in public as regular pants.


As you can see, there is still a lot of wrinkles both front and back, but for now, I'm happy with it.

PS: I am wearing my turtle neck shirt that I made last week, and my Simplicity 1805 kimono sleeve shirt. So, yeah, my outfit is entirely me-made!

PPS: The Man of the House asked me what I was wearing, after looking at me wearing what I was wearing, meaning he does not approve my outfit. I told him I was going for an art teacher look. He then said I look like Barb, from Stranger Things, meaning I look like I'm from the 80's. (He just binge watched the Season 2) Well, then I guess I'm going for the art teacher from the 80's look.
