Charm Patterns Marilyn Jeans Test Pants are done!!
I have no desire to make these for real at this time. My test pair offered me a lot of fitting challenges that I don’t know where to start with fixing. I broke the cardinal rule of fitting with these by making a long dart right in the front to address some excess fabric because I really wanted a wearable pair. The fit is still not great though. If I magically start feeling better about myself maybe I will take a picture of me wearing them.
These pants have a hidden side zipper construction. You can also see those eye-sore front darts in this picture.
Another cool thing this pattern features is lined cuffs if you want them. I did. I wanted to see how to make them and I bet I’ll do this for lots of pants from now on.
