Here's the complete review of the Pants I made:
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Absolutely Yes!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, mostly – I think they could have been a little more clear. Of course, I sewed both pant front to pant back the same way. I ended up with a back and front in the back and in the front – LOL! Luckily, I cut the pants 1 size bigger so, I was able to use the extra fabric to make it work.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I made it, I love it! Finished it Monday night and wore it to work on Tuesday morning. Oh, yeah!
Fabric Used: I used a black polyester crepe (about $4.85 per yard from Fabric.com).
Conclusion: I love these pants & I received a lot of compliments! Winning!
Needles Up,

Thanks for leaving a comment. I hope you will try your hand at making those pants - in the words of Deepka from Pattern Review I am "Sewing Fearlessly!"
