Anyway, I haven't made pants yet and am a little intimidated :/. I was reading your review on patternreview.com and was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how u construct pants - I know u have alot of requests but maybe you can work this one in there. Your style is awesome btw!!<br />Thx GretchenGCFChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316517300592336259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445615081384739024.post-24045349225566618162012-04-06T00:17:30.393-07:002012-04-06T00:17:30.393-07:00Thanks I used to use them in design school, and no...Thanks I used to use them in design school, and now I'm thinking why I ever stopped storing them this way. I definitely have a bookcase tha can house my patterns, but I just bought those big ottoman storage cubes from Ross that could house my envelopes and sit on my closet shelves as well. Thanks Mimi!

The other was when asked "I wish I could..." and immediately I answered SEW! You're such an inspiration.

They look a little too fitted in a couple areas. Maybe it's the fabric. I love the color and the fabric drape of the pant, but I think you have borderline camel toe in these pants, maybe 1/2"-3/4" of ease would have helped a little better. And the fit in the thighs too. Otherwise, I love the color and now I want a pair of this style pants. I love the wrap sweater as well. And the necklace and other accessories are on point.
