We fitted and made alterations to the pattern then cut and sewed a muslin then cut and sewed it denim! Sandra even showed us her method of installing the fly zippers! To see a demo go to her website or type in Betzina fly zipper to watch her video!Sew it my way!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17251627980621276495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-45351459028995864782011-02-02T05:14:53.914+08:002011-02-02T05:14:53.914+08:00Beautiful faced fly!

I've found that unfortunately, even with a pattern that you're sure if your perfect match, a novel fabric can completely change the fit. Maybe the shift from muslin to fashion fabric made things a little strange for your fit?meli88ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283195290411152388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-89303003820360093802011-01-29T08:43:14.999+08:002011-01-29T08:43:14.999+08:00Your zip looks fantastic.

Really bad. Take a look at Sigrid's tutorials for Kay Y's tutorial on this type of fly front. Much much better and it won't leave you feeling like an idiot to boot. I made these pants right after they came out. YOu'd think that they would have fixed the instructions by now. These are my tnt pant, but I narrowed the knee a bit. I also don't cut the pockets and I added a waistband, so no they don't look like these any more!

Different patterns seem to have different approaches too. So even after I make it through one, the next one seems to come with different pieces! I hope you have a chance to take a picture of yourself wearing the pants. It's tough to see what sort of style they are on the hanger. I am sure the fit is better than you think. It seems like we are tougher critics on the stuff we make for ourselves than the stuff we buy.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551387452771116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-73919600349601741492011-01-28T21:32:51.707+08:002011-01-28T21:32:51.707+08:00The fly looks great.

(less bulky - easier to do) As for fit - I do think that we (sewers) tend to worry far too much about fit and drive ourselves crazy. Really not worth it. Just have a look at the pants walking around on the street, and you will soon see that yours are of a far superior fit.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960310379822122045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148903738070733735.post-54551471146691548922011-01-28T21:28:14.062+08:002011-01-28T21:28:14.062+08:00Your pants look great and your faced fly so profes...Your pants look great and your faced fly so professional! I'm certain your pants look perfect on you but I know exactly what you mean. I tend to stress about everything too.

I have a similar wake-up between envisioning a sewing outcome, and the real vision of it. From the hanger shot it's hard to tell how they do look on you, but even if by some chance they are iffy, be inspired by Burda. Be seen sitting with legs crossed, or walking quickly--no one will know how they really fit and fall.
