I finally finished my version of the BELLA pants after looking at all those great projects of others for a while!
These are my first pants and my first project on burdastyle as well, yaaay! I love these pants, just had to take them in around the waist and on the inner and outer leg seams. They are really comfortable and I am already trying to figure out what color I want my second pair to be. The only problem that I had with the instructions was with the front closure, I just didn’t understand the directions that well and I am not sure i did it the way it was intended… but it worked out somehow. Now I only have to figure out a better way of taking pictures of myself ;)
Some twill from Hancock on sale and mushroom fabric from Joann

They are looking terrific – what kind of pattern did you use? That could be my second try to make some trousers.

Thank you! I used the Bella pants pattern for $4, maybe you saw that already? It shows up to the right of the pictures. Would love to see your version!

First let me say that your butt looks really good in these pants! Excellent job on shaping it well. Secondly, I love that your first pair of pants are bella pants – I plan on making those my second (currently working on a wide leg, cuffed trouser as my first ever pants project). I love the colour, the fabric, and the little mushroom pop on the pocket

I was the same way! I always looked at pants patterns and then I was like ‘nah…’, but I am glad that I tried it, because I really like how they turned out. Try it! :)
