Project Sewn's challenge theme for week two is "Floral Frenzy"
And it just so happened that I whipped up these pants in like, a night lol
This was one of the options from the Miss Bossy Challenge from TMS but popular vote voted against these.
These are Kwik Sew 3807
I got the fabric from JoAnn's and I got the last yard and change on the bolt.
It's a very stretchy denim
It was JUST ENOUGH to squeeze these out.
I love that the flowers are almost abstract.
It make it look like they really ARE in a frenzy!
Like I mentioned, these pants sewed up EXTREMELY quick.
Only 3 pieces and one of them doesn't even really count cuz it just the zipper facings.
But a problem that I was having with them is the crotch area. It bulged sooooo much.
This pic doesn't even show it well.
I literally took about 2 extra inches out of the crotch seam and there's STILL a little bulge.
It's not very noticeable to other people but it really bothers me.
i just didn't want to keep going back to the machine so I just left it.
It was pretty loose in the back as well but as I kept adjusting the crotch seam, the back seamed to correct itself
Did I mention it has ankle zippers?!
Functional too ;-)
The look pretty awkward unzipped with heels lol
I'll try it styled that way when I wear them with flats.
These have an elastic waistband.
Just elastic sewed to the top of the fabric, folded over, then sewn down.
'Tis all!
I love them!
Tell me what you think!
See you in the next post!
share & stuff ;-)

CUTE tasha! just goes to show, i wouldn't have noticed the crotch if you hadn't told (and, you know, the extreme close up:) i wonder what that crotch is about? it looks like it has something to do with where the waist sits, like the crotch length isn't allowed to sit its full length?
ReplyDeletefeh! they are CUTE and those zips!!
Thank you lol
DeleteApparently it's noticeable in person because my mom was like "why does it look like that?" loool
but she was probably inspecting my work lol
I think I'll have to make a smaller size if I ever make this pattern again.
Cute pants Tasha! I have tried this pattern and had the same issue! I wish I had persevered like you did. I balled mine up and threw them in a corner! (Take that you baggy crotch!) They look great on you and the floral is so springy!
ReplyDeletePull them back out! If anyone can work it out it would definitely be YOU!
Deleteand thank you!
I love the zipper detailing!
ReplyDeleteYou have amazed me yet again even with the crotch issue. I do not own any kwik sew patterns, but you have turned me on to 2 now. Thank you! Looks great on you.

aww, thanks!
DeleteKwik Sew patterns are the most expensive (because I only by patterns when they're on sale for a dollar and change lol) but they are definitely the fastest to whip up. You might like them!
I LOVE THEM!!! ~alejandra
ReplyDeleteThese pants are to die for!!! I love the fabric and the zippers......,they are marvelous!!! Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wish I could go back and get more of this fabric!
DeleteLET ME JUST SAY THAT REGARDLESS OF ALREADY PREVIOUSLY SEEING THESE PANTS AND OTHER THINGS YOU CREATE, I STILL LIVE FOR THESE POSTS! THEY GIVE ME LIFEEEEEEEEE LOL SERIOUSLY.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're always yelling loool thanks Mayyyy :-*
DeleteVery cute .. I have a suggestion about the crotch I tell you in the group..
ReplyDeleteVery cute and colorful, love those zippers!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese are beautiful, love the fabric. I have no idea what you could do about the "crotch" issue but hopefully some other clever person will know and be able to tell, then you can give us an update! (It's not awful, but now you have pointed it out there it is!) It would be a shame not to completely love them as otherwise they are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI have an idea on how to avoid future crotch issues and i will def share if it works or not! Thank you!
DeleteThese are so cute! You did a fantastic job! I have never braved pants. I wouldn't have noticed the crotch without it being pointed out.
ReplyDeleteThank you! There are only my second pair. I'm afraid of pants because i think they require the most altering to fit.
DeleteLove
