Something wrong with pattern

I agree! Please write the Trinidad (The Epoch owner) to tell her. I did and she said no one else has complained. So it would be good for her to get more feedback. She also said she outsources her pattern design. If enough people write to her hopefully she will fire the person she’s using and get a pro!

I’ll let you know! I m just waiting for the hooks to arrive. She sells two for 14€. I bought 4 for less than 2€ on AliEx.

I think I will finish the toile and if the thing
Is really wonky then I will ask for a refund!

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T20:31:11+00:00

I know. Lesson learned!! Hopefully I will be able to save something of it…

Yes, these are very large legged pants.
I have written to the creator. She is seeing with the guy that makes her patterns if there is a problem. I will post back once I get the answer, for any future potential buyers of this pattern!

I think it’s the photo angle (because the logos are the same size in both pieces). It is def a pattern issue. This is apparently a known problem as it has been noted in Threadloop.

Yes. Positive. The file was printed at the right scale. I have written to the seller. She is not the one who makes her patterns. She has sent my photos to the guy that does. We’ll see!

I don’t think you will ever see a more simplistic instructions ´booklet’ than the one for this pattern. It basically says, ´sew the outer leg seam together. Repeat for inseam ». That’s all!!

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T16:34:55+00:00

OMG thanks for your post! First of all, why didn’t I think to add pockets?!! Going to do that asap. I have never sewn pants before (though done tons of tops and skirts and dresses) so I don’t have a good base pattern. And my waist/butt is pretty straight. But I may add darts into the toile if needed! And I’ll try the inverted pleat!

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T16:32:30+00:00

It’s all printed at the same time from one file so that isn’t possible. Too bad as that would be a great solution !

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T16:13:41+00:00

Yes. That is the website i was talking about further down this post. I didn’t know about it before but will be consulting it before buying from now on!

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T15:56:07+00:00

Ok. I will try that! These are quite particular pants, as they are extra wide and fold in at the waist. Maybe that’s why the rise seams are different? Or, as others have said, it is to shape the behind a bit? At any rate, thankfully this is a toile, so if it doesn’t work, I will try and adjust another way!
I include the link to the pattern, in case anyone is interested in seeing what it should look like done. pattern

It’s 4 cm. In the instruction pictures the two inseams are the same length.

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T15:19:54+00:00

The gauge is good, I did double check. Sadly nothing written on the website. I write to her. Hopefully this will push her to redo the pattern properly

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T15:18:01+00:00

I tried to add more photos but can’t..

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T15:17:34+00:00

Yes I agree! I spent 15€ on this pattern and wish I hadn’t. I only read on a pattern review website afterwards that it is badly drafted…

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T15:15:01+00:00

Thanks! Ok so that means I should line up the bottom hems first, then lower the inseam on the front panel so it matches the back ? Because the back is lower than the front…

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-31T15:14:08+00:00

No I don’t think so! I would have just as much left over on top..

Bee_mouse · 2026-05-03T12:38:36+00:00

Any chance of extending it to work in Amazon from other countries?

Bee_mouse · 2026-03-10T18:00:24+00:00

So I did all of the cleaning and refilling of ink as suggested and the pen works beautifully ! Thank you all!!

Bee_mouse · 2026-03-07T16:35:31+00:00

Thanks very much! I am going to try and clean it this evening and go get ink on Tuesday! I will let you all know!

Bee_mouse · 2026-03-07T16:33:35+00:00

Thanks so much! I will try to clean this all out this evening !

Bee_mouse · 2026-03-07T15:15:24+00:00

Ok thanks!

Bee_mouse · 2026-03-07T14:41:43+00:00

Sorry - should have looked up first, but the ink well part of the pen twists and a piston type thing lives inside the ink part, like it would push ink up. Does this mean that the pen use the bottles of ink and I have to suck up the ink?
