Most comfortable pants eeeeeever
Hey Hey,
So these are part of the backlog I was talking about during my last post. The Amber Trousers by Paprika patterns. These are supposed to be made out of a woven, but I had some leftover fabric (still do) from when I made my Plantain Version #5 and was really inspired to use this pattern to try to recreate a cropped version of a very similar pair of pants I bought in Sri Lanka when I was on my honey moon earlier this year.
I have to say I rushed the job slightly, but I couldn't be happier with where they landed on the comfy scale. I took out the side zipper and just sewed a circle of elastic into the waist, flipped down and then zig-zaged across. This was part of the "rush job" that I did, but I think they still turned out ok for a comfy pair of pants.
Originally I was going to stream line them even more and make them without the pockets, especially because the fabric I used for these is so stretchy, but when I cut out the front leg pieces I forgot to adjust the pattern accordingly. Oops. So pockets it was. I don't think I will be able to put anything heavy in them, but they give me a place to stick my hands when I'm feeling awkward, so that's good. Lol.
Instead of properly tapering the legs down, I just cut them off below the knee and then added a cuff. Unfortunately, Because I didn't properly taper them, there was a little too much body to put them into the cuffs I made, so I had to add one pleat in the front and one pleat in the back of each knee. This was also part of the janky rush job. I think I'll fix this next go around if I decide to make them cropped again, but in the mean time this pair will stay as is.
