Burda 01-2009 #121 Pants

So I decided on the aluminum buttons. I really had a hard time deciding between the fabric-covered buttons that LindseyT suggested. This tab looks a bit crooked because I think I need to move that bottom button down a hair. Isn't that annoying? I always see something in the pictures that makes me want to go back and do one more thing. And, I'm not a huge fan of this fabric. It's a thin denim with a lot of stretch. I think it's too thin.


The original pattern calls for one loop to be sewn directly into the CB seam. Since I do a hefty swayback adjustment I didn't want to put it there in case I needed to snug up the pants one last time. So I added another loop and just made them to the side of CB.


What's going on under my butt? I don't usually have that kind of wrinkling with BWOF. It looks like I could take out a good inch out of that area. I may try to pinch out a little and see if that makes it better. I hemmed these a bit long too but they always shrink and then I have to let them out.

This is the third installment of the F-ing Cold SWAP. All I have left is the coat.
