Perfecting the Fit of your Bottoms

Sewing is fun! Finding cute patterns to play with and design and create. Discovering the perfect fabric and knowing that you are just going to look smashing! And the pride of wearing something you've made yourself is not comparable to anything else in the world.

But when you try on your gorgeous make only to find out that it's just not perfect can be incredibly devastating. In my last Ellie and Mac Blog Post I talked about how to measure yourself to make sure that you are inputting the correct measurements. This time around, I'm jumping to something a little more complicated, but will give so much satisfaction!

How to adjust your pants for the perfect fit!

Lindsey, the designer and owner over at Ellie and Mac decided to brave one of her biggest fears and designed a beautiful pair of joggers! But the first group of testers were having some trouble with getting the fit just right, understandably, pants are HARD! So I jumped in and tried to explain how to get a great fit. Once the pattern testers had it all figured out, it was decided that there needed to be a blog post so that EVERYONE would be able to make the pattern come out beautifully!

And here you have it, my take on the basic adjustments you need to make your pants (especially the Good Vibes Joggers) fit beautifully!

This isn't a picture of me, it's the blog cover shot.

When you get back, I'd love to hear what basic adjustments you have to make to get things to fit you properly. It doesn't have to be adjustments to pants. I need to adjust for height on EVERYTHING as well as do an FBA on most things and decrease the front rise and increase the back rise on all of my pants.
