Fun pants

These pants are a great design!

Pros: the design is unique, they are really comfortable to wear, the panels allow you to customize the look, and pockets!

Cons: Like some other pattern companies I can name, the instructions aren’t great. For setting in the pockets: in retrospect, I should have substituted someone else’s pocket instructions — they are a pretty standard style. Also, there was a pattern piece missing, but I approached The Fold Line about it and they got it straightened out.

I love how mine turned out and have received loads of compliments!

I fear I may be losing my mind

I've never actually written a review for a sewing pattern before, but this project was so baffling that I felt compelled to. I absolutely love the design of these pants, so was willing to overlook some red flags, but the pattern as it is is basically unusable.

First of all, the drafting instructions are unclear and convoluted. The instructions for inserting the inseam pocket are especially bad -- the pattern tells you to "Place the pockets so that they match the notch marks on the front left and side left pieces," but the side pieces don't have notches for the pockets, and the instructions don't indicate which edge to attach the pockets to. The instructions then tell you to "pin and sew the pocket opening and around the pockets" -- without pictures its really hard to tell what they mean by that. I've sewn inseam pockets so I just used my usual method but since every pattern is a little different I wasn't at all sure how it would turn out.

There's also a picture to illustrate joining the front left and side left pieces -- but in this illustration both pieces have curved crotch seams, suggesting that you're actually supposed to attach the front left with the back left (the side left has no crotch seam). I went with the written instructions because it made more sense. Fingers crossed.

All of that is fine if you're an intermediate and advanced sewer and can do without directions -- the thing I'm really scratching my head over is the back waistband piece. The instructions reference a back waistband piece, but I cannot for the life of me find it in the pattern files. It wasn't there when I printed the pattern, and I went back to check the PDF files to confirm: the back waistband piece does not exist. If I'm missing something someone please tell me.

I skimmed the rest of the instructions and they don't get better, so I am sadly dropping this project. Thank god I made a toile first. I paid $19 for this pattern and I'm deeply unhappy. Don't waste your money or your time.
