Ca me fait bizarre de lire du Français! Ton blog est super chouette (je dois me bloquer un peu de temps ce week end pour le lire).

As for the silouhette, I enjoy fitted pants at the top that hold things in place, and wider legs at the bottom. But I could also be convinced of other styles...Laurwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761729012923060469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153096455662228144.post-76769159856168179142014-02-18T20:22:44.132+01:002014-02-18T20:22:44.132+01:00Hi Cindy, Thanks for your nice comment!
There are ...Hi Cindy, Thanks for your nice comment!<br />There are man ways to upgrade. I use the simplest one to me (see the post http://quirkyprettycute.blogspot.nl/2010/09/how-i-upgrade-pattern-easy-way.html). <br />It is a little bit like a good old geometry class. Now, it sometimes does not work perfectly and you still need to pinch here and there, or add something at the seam. But so far, it's been working great for me. Let me know if you have more questions :)Laurwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761729012923060469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153096455662228144.post-51443046191896591022014-02-18T19:43:39.940+01:002014-02-18T19:43:39.940+01:00Hi Laurwyn.

I have a question about fitting. It seems that you do a lot of sizing up on the patterns you use. How did you learn to do this? I see so many patterns that I like but are too small. I don't know how to alter and am afraid to ruin patterns and fabric. Do you have any suggestions?

I will be using a stretchy fabric, so that the fit will be a bit easier. I will also be raising the front waist, since that is too low at the moment and i don't want a pooch hanging over! Looking forward to seeing your result!

I've got a generous behind and I carry a some weight in my lower abdominal section. <br />That "The Four New Body Types" article was interesting.<br />I found it difficult to 'classify' my body type when I wrote about it last year<br />(post here http://simplefibrelife.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/sewing-swap-stage-one-self-analysis_25.html).<br /><br />I haven't been brave enough to make 'proper' trousers yet (I have made trousers with elasticised waists), which is silly seeing as I'm most comfortable in trousers.<br />To give me a boost I've enrolled and watched the Craftsy pant fitting class, which is very helpful and comes with a the pants pattern Vogue 2948 <br />(class here http://www.craftsy.com/class/pant-fitting-techniques/125).<br /><br />I can't really recommend any patterns from experience, but I guess the main question is what kind of silhouette are you looking for? <br />Personally I am drawn to wide legged styles so they don't 'hug' my 'full-bodied' thighs :)<br /><br />Good luck with your search for a great trousers pattern :)SimpleFibreLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031105861534976138noreply@blogger.com
