Simplicity 1283 Mimi G Knit Pants Ver. 2

先週作ったニットパンツが非常に履きやすくて気に入ったので、もう一つ作ってみました。
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.
