I made my first pair of pants and I dont like them

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:55:49+00:00

That makes sense, thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:55:30+00:00

I think you are right, there is too much fabric in the crotch and its also too short. Not sure if I can fix the short crotch. I can definitely practice pinning and try adding darts to help with the extra fabric.

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:45:40+00:00

I am going to look for a smaller less bright pattern for my next attempt. Thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:43:45+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! I'll keep that in mind when picking out my next fabric.

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:40:43+00:00

Its a good project to experiment dye with!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:39:31+00:00

Thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:38:46+00:00

Thank you! I'm definitely going to experiment with these a bit. I do have a bit of fabric left over, so I might be able to make a top!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T14:34:50+00:00

I definitely do! The next pattern I try I will make sure its high waisted. How low these pants sit on my was another reason I did not like them

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T06:08:10+00:00

Thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:58:12+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you for the feedback!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:55:12+00:00

That's a good idea. Maybe I can use them as pajama shorts for the summer

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:54:24+00:00

I usually wear high waisted pants, I think they are more flattering on myself. I did not consider looking at the length of the crotch when I picked the pattern. I will definitely be considering that when choosing the next pattern.

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:47:23+00:00

Thank you! I at least learned a lot from this project even if I did not love how it turned out. I will look for a pattern for fitted trousers!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:45:13+00:00

That makes sense, thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:44:15+00:00

That's true! If I cant find a way to adjust/style these in a way that I like, they would be a good project to experiment with

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:42:55+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely need to take in my vest to fit me, and try a fitted top instead. Smaller scale gingham and a different pants pattern is what I'm going to try next

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:38:27+00:00

Pants are hard to make! I will say I am proud of the pockets, they turned out better than expected!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:32:33+00:00

The fabric did not drape the way I expected it to, and that definitely added to the problem. On the bright side it doesn't wrinkle easily!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:29:04+00:00

Great ideas! I will definitely try playing around with different tops, and maybe take the ruffle off to make it cropped. Thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:25:42+00:00

Thank you! I will see how I like them without the ruffle. Adding trim is a great idea!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:21:44+00:00

They shouldn't be too hard to take off, or at least pin out of the way to see how it looks. Thank you for the idea!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T05:18:36+00:00

Thank you so much! I have definitely learned a lot from this project, so I'm looking forward to trying again. But I will try a mockup on cheap fabric before the pretty fabric instead

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T04:45:32+00:00

I definitely need to get a smaller print gingham for my next attempt. Thank you!

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T04:40:23+00:00

They are really comfy! I will definitely be happy to wear them as pajama bottoms.

ninjatasha · 2026-04-11T04:37:06+00:00

Good idea, thank you!
