型紙はシンプリシティの1283番。布はグレーのポリエステル・レーヨン混紡のポンチニットです。
ジーンズがきつくなって、こんなゴムウェストのパンツに頼っています。
まだまだ改善の余地大なんだけど。
Mimi G knit pants 2 weeks in a row. This was one of my fastest sewing projects ever. I started cutting fabric this morning, and I'm already done before dinner time.
The pattern is Simplicity 1283, Mimi G design. The same pattern as last week.
I made View C, the knit pants.
The fabric is poly/viscose/spandex ponte. I bought this with the black ponte I used in my previous version. Same price but this one is much smoother and dog hair does not stick onto it as much.
I did the same alteration and design change as last time.
- Cut the size 12
- Raised knee 3"
- Omitted back zip
- Omitted front darts
- Changed waist band length to match
- Shortened horizontally above crotch 1.5"
- Scooped in back crotch
- Inserted 1.25" elastic in waist band.
I traced how I scooped it last time on the pattern so I refined it a bit. The red line is the new cutting line.
The below is the center front. I let out the front crotch curve a bit. The blue line is the original cut line. However, when I was going through these photos, I realized that I had created camel toe. Yikes. I probably over-did this alteration.
So I sewed in a bit at the curve just now. Hopefully the "toe" is not as noticeable.
I still have lots of wrinkles, but this pair looks better than the last one probably because I'm wearing heels this time and the fabric hangs better. I give myself a passing grade. I mean, this is a pair of elastic-waist knit pants that doesn't look like pajamas. How much better can it be.
