Burda Style For people who sew

Description

Wide leg pants made with check wool . The pattern is vintage seventies Simplicity 6108 size 10 (waist 25″, hip 34.5″).

I made view 2, wide leg pants with front zipper, but made some changes. The pattern was very simple with a lapped zipper and no pockets. I changed the zipper to fly front zipper and added a pair of side seam pockets. I used petersham ribbon as facings and lower the waist about 2.5 cm because my fabric was only 1 m. Because of these changes, I didn’t use the instruction sheet from the pattern envelope.

The pants have very wide legs, something that I’ve never worn before. But after trying them on, I really like them! My husband said that they are very cute too. I think they look best paired with platform shoes. I’m glad to have another new style in my wardrobe!
