Best fitting trousers I’ve made!
I made the skinny version in a straight size 30 and they fit beautifully. I cut the tall length then took some off the bottom because I’d seen some reviews saying they were short. I’m 5ft 6 and ended up with 2.5cm extra, but I think I was overly cautious and didn’t need that much!
The instructions were excellent and made it clear at each step which kind of thread and foot you need. I absolutely love the fly method and that it is the first step so it’s out the way. This is the first time I’ve had a flat fly with no random bumps at the bottom so I’ll be trying to use this method all the time from now on.
They also include a tip to use a keyhole buttonhole for strength, and they have a tutorial on their sew a long which I used.
I embroidered one back pocket using the tips on Megan’s website, backing the pocket with a scrap of liberty cotton. I have a picture of this online @clariesews
These are so comfy I definitely want to make a lot more in different colours. The fabric is a gorgeous soft blue from Guthrie & ghani with excellent recovery.
I 100% recommend these.
