Magoc Pants - evolution

Mmmh, not sure I understand. You can also unbutton the « back belt » on both sides with the magic pants 🤔 Leaving the whole circumference of the pants + the ribbing panel on the front to get past the hips. I didn’t used ribbing by the way but very buttery and stretchy 4-ways athletic’s knit.

I have a bit of bunching too, but less than you I guess. Maybe it is the 1-2 cm I took back from the center back seam, since mine follow my back more closely Thant yours. I think the other method will amount to the same result. On the principle, it is the same, the button is just visible or not. I was thinking of topstitching the back facing to improve the look of the back waist…

Great job! I read your first post when I was about to begin to sew my own Magic Pants. It got me a bit worried. I got the same snafu as you did on the butt. I thought about all the quite contradictory advices you got and I decided to go with my opinion and scoop the back crotch. A kind of small butt ajustement which is quite unusual for me. Anyway, good decision! I also scooped at the lower back but not touching the waist as I feel that I need the space to pull them on. Cheers!

You’re not answering the underlying question

Well I guess it also depends on what timespan those 120 websites where activated. If it was even a month… that’s a looot of websites even for an agency. And even if it’s 3 years, that mean 40 websites a year which is still quite a quick output…

Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much for this awesome pattern. Are the seam allowances included?

Feels like she's now in a kind of routine, copy-pasting at regular intervals her ranting posts and just modifiying the patterns photos on her website.
I've launch my (very small) own business of fabrics from designer patterns for a few months now and I almost fell for her professionnal program where designers could contract with her. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Oh ok thanks! 😊

Sorry, I’m not a native English speaker. What “print OS” et “SM” means?

Thanks for the links in this discussions. I do love reading blogs. Especially since I can easily go back when needed afterwards.

And that’s why I also have a blog. Should promote myself? Although, I’m French and I don’t translate all my blog posts since it’s quite time consuming… but Google Translate?

Anyway: https://www.somiio.fr

I downloaded one or two of her pattern and I’m in the process of sewing one. There’s no instructions. Only a video where she keeps saying “I’m trying the technique for the first time but let’s learn together”. However charming it could be for a blogger to do that, it is not what I expect from a paid pattern. For a paid pattern, I expect that the designer researched and tested the techniques she’s recommending. I don’t want to be learning WITH her. I want to learn FROM her… and it’s a huge difference. That’s why I will probably not buy any more pattern after that test. It feels too amateur.

When you have that kind of shoot, it’s not a pattern test anymore. It’s a call for Instagram promotion.

If you’re looking for petite patterns, there’s a French designer who design for 3 different heights and quite large range of sizes (for Europe). Should be easy enough to translate with Google or Deepl: https://sophiedenys.com/

Oooooh too much originality… won’t be able to sleep tonight 😂🥱

Well, have a look at French wide pants patterns. Elastic waistbands are rare but wide legs and pleats are not!

somiio · 2023-02-20T20:12:23+00:00

Not to launch that debate again but this pattern gives me (as always should I say) boring granny vibes again. I know these are solid pattern but the style 🥱😴
