DF strikes again

Several months ago following recommendations from Demented Fairy I bought the Flat Bottom Flo, Style Arc pattern. I've been meaning to make it up since then and following a visit to Abakhan when I bought some scuba I made a pair today. I used the overlocker, what a quick and easy pattern. They are so comfortable, the only drawback is that they are purple - I thought the fabric was a dark blue  ><but never mind they will be well worn.

I like that pattern too, I still get saggy back legs but they hang much better than any pattern Ive ever bought, draughted or had draughted for me. Now if I could just slide my belly round to where my non existent bum should be trousers would probably fit properly, sadly I haven't worked out how to do that  .

I just make the front crotch a little longer and VERY slightly curved outwards, so the waistband curves up a tad at CF.  Seems to encompass my fat gut!  I have several pairs of the flat bottom flo, several Lindas too, all work really well on me.
For a complete change of style, I'm loving the Ebony, which looks more formal while still feeling like pyjamas!
I often lay the FBF pattern over other trousers to see if they will work, and tweak them if not

@maliw   what`s wrong with purple?

" When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit."


I`d happily live in purple and I don`t consider myself to be an old woman yet!

Oh no you don't DF ---- I just had to have a look at the Ebony pattern, no I haven't ordered - yet. I've made 3 pairs of Natasha pants and they fit really well too.
