Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I updated my capri pattern so that I would have less looseness on the hips, but darn, they’re a bit too tight in the bum!
On this version, instead of making a foldover band, I did a diagonally overlapping band in the front and did not make the band as thick. This version will fit more comfortably under skirts.
Material Notes
cotton stretch jersey

They look great, I really like the colour. Great detail on the waistband as well.

They look great and I understand about the seam ripper!
