Month of Pants (#2) + Simplicity 4079

My second post for the month of pant. I used the same Kwik Sew pattern as the first pant. However, I did a little modification to the pattern. I added 5/8" on both the front and back sides and used a little stretched fabric so this works so much better and fits better than the first one.

To wear with my pant, I made this lovely vest using simplicity4079 View E. Here are some modifications I made to the vest pattern.
(1) FBA
(2)  I lengthened by 2"
(3)I cut 4 front pieces instead of (2 fabric, 2 lining piece) suggested because I like the professional look of fabric front facing instead of lining front facing, so I ommited piece #13
(3) Also I bagged the lining to the fabric but hand sewn (slip stitched) the arm hole .....It really looks sharp this way......lol and I just love the way it turned out.
Here are some pixs of the combo.....

That's all for now fellas.....BTW I got this suiting fabric from Walmart another $1.97 buy.
Happy sewing everyone..... and a lovely weekend to all

Month of Pant (Kwik Sew 3625)

I will like to say a big thank you for all the comments and suggestions I received on my last post, the jacket is still on the form  I just need to get to the store and get some buttons and  will definately post the final pictures when am done.

Now to the real thing. I recently joined the month of pant sew along, and just completed my first pair. I used kwik sew pattern 3625. This is actually my first time using this pattern, and I am glad I tried it out. I cut size a medium and tapped to large around the hip...but this pant is still very tight, I did all my normal alterations , the crotch fits so well except for the sides. I guess I will have to add more to the sides next time


Here goes the review

You can see how tight it is around the thigh...ummmm

I really need to add more

Fabric:  Wool polyester. From Walmart for $1.97, and Bemberg lining...

Pattern Description: Wide flared leg pants have fly zipper and shaped wide waistband. pockets and loops are optional.

Pattern Sizing: XS-XL. I cut a medium and tapped up to large on the hip


Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: Pretty much, but mine needs some comfort....lol.

Were the instructions easy to follow: Super easy to follow, I used it only for the pocket, since have made pants before I used other techniques I am familiar with to complete the project


Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: Yes, couple
I did my normal full thight alteration
Lengthened by 3"
Sway back alteration
Deepened the back crotch by half inch to make room for the "rear"and
Reduced the front crotch by half inch


What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love everything, except for the tightness.... even after letting out quarter inch on both sides.
Next time I will use a stretchy fabric, will add about half inch on both sides and will eliminate the pockets because they really emphasize my hips.

Would you recommend it to others? Absolutely, just go for it
Conclusion: Very easy pattern . Glad I joined the MOP sew along . I am ready for my next pair.

You all have a lovely holiday and all the best in the new year....
