Whew, March almost slipped past. With our cruise, work, and kids, I almost didn’t make my March Burda Challenge! But, I managed to whip this pair of pants out in the past two days. I like them because they are springy and I need a little of that right now. It snowed a foot or two in the last week.
I made mine a cropped version of the original in a light robin’s egg blue color. I should have topstitched all the seams because the fun seaming details kind of get lost in the pants.
Here are the front seams. There are no side seams and one more seam down the CB legs. I like how the “lower waistband” is sewn into the darts in the front.
Here you can kind of see the details. You can also see I’m still tan from the tropics.
I did the single welt pockets on the back. I should have checked the placement because they are very far off to the side of my butt. I think it looks weird. Can you see the back seaming details? Barely, I know. The “lower waistband” stops before hitting CB and disappears in the side leg panel.
Here’s a better shot of the front. I used a sew-in snap for the front of the trousers. I wanted something that wouldn’t take attention from the seams in the front.
Here you can see some of the back detailing. Isn’t the placement far out??
My welt pockets didn’t turn out that badly for not having done these in a long, long, time.
I’m not sure what my next plan is. I’m thinking some cleaning out and organizing of the sewing room would be nice. I’m in that spring cleaning mode!
