Project Chronicles: Style Arc Wallis Pant
These pants were very easy to make....with only 2 pattern pieces, this should be on everyones list of stylish non-leggings pants. I sewed these live as part of my Live Sewing series on my YouTube channel.
The side seam is moved forward creating a really nice curve along the hip. This I think, gives the illusion of smaller hips. I did my best I modeling the side seam.. It was not easy to show the seam with the red fabric. Which, by the way, I bought this red Ponte Roma from http://bit.ly/STF-SMFabric back in 2019, when she got it in stock. Oh, how many projects I have for this red fabric. Even though I know this years color is a version of blue, I have been missing some red in my wardrobe for way too long. (Stay Tuned)
The picture below is how I install the elastic at the waist. This isn't the way the instructions suggest, but I need my elastic waist to be "flat" under a top.

I first sewed these pants to go along with my Izzy Miaki top.

PATTERN DETAILS:
- Pull-on Ponte pant with front design line by Style ARC, I purchased the Single size 14. found here: http://bit.ly/2NRkzyt
- I increased the crotch extension in the back
- Took some of the curve out of the side seam by, taking away from the front panel and adding to the back panel at the hips.
- Added to the back legs to allow for perturbing calves.
- Raised the back crotch length at the center back for more coverage.
The video shows the complete sewing of these pants using only the sewing machine, no serger or coverstitch.

Thanks for this review! I have a really nice cut of ponte and have been looking for something other than V1411 (not slim enough) and V9210(I like them but don't love them).
ReplyDeleteI'll give these a shot. They look fantastic on you.
Yes, you will so love these pants. There is another that I have enjoyed over the years as well. It's the Style ARC Cassie Stretch Woven... you have seen me wear them several times in photos. I haven't really reviewed them. I'll be making another pair very soon.
