  1. Espectacular! Los pantalones son muy chulos, pero creo que de ese tipo, con cintura muy alta, hay mejores patrones en el Burda, te aconsejaria que le echases un vistazo al su página web y los veas todos.
    Pero lo que me han encantado han sido las fotos! Que pasada! Muy muy bonitas… ¿has usado el picmonkey? yo siempre edito las fotos con el y la verdad que quedan mucho mejor!
    Besos guapa, y que no se te lleve el viento!

  2. good work – I don't really enjoy sewing or wearing trousers that much or perhaps like you I am still waiting to find the perfect pair for me. Yours look great

  3. Jean shopping is almost as bad as bathing suit shopping. I live in jeans and the ones that fit are the Jalie 2908. I'm currently trying to find another that I like. My March Challenge patterns are for a new to me pair of jeans. My new to me pattern is also a jeans pattern.
    Your trousers look good on you. I might try a high waisted trouser.

  4. These look great! I, too, am not really a pants person… I wear mostly skirts and dresses. I do have one pair of jeans that I like (and that fits) that are from Cookie Johnson. They're made in the US, and they're supposed to be designed for curvier women, but they're definitely not cheap (I bought mine at a consignment store). Making your own is much cheaper, and the fit is probably better anyways!

  5. It turned out awesome! I love pants, I often wear pants, but I have sewn a few pants and never have the fit properly.

  6. You wear this style well. High waisted pants on a great waist like yours is a bonus.
    Our shapes are so different I would not dare suggest a pattern for you because I would be way off the mark 🙂

  7. Te han quedado muy chulos, la tela me gusta mucho. Y no te hagas la ropa tan grande, que hay que lucir algo y tú puedes. Las fotos preciosas.

  8. These are great! I love the high waistband and the slits on the hems. Very fashion forward! What does your husband know really? LOL. I'm almost finished my trousers for the Monthly Stitch challenge!

  9. I love the style of a high waist trouser and they are super flattering! Really great that you could use fabric from your stash. I am dreading sewing the pants cutting out my fabric in about an hour. Wish me luck.

  10. Hola Merche, gracias! La primera y la última foto he modificado con el Picmonkey. Las demás están como salieron de la camara. Voy a ver el Burda cuando necesito otros pantalones. Seguro. Me gusta el estilo de cintura alta.
    Y el viento! Jolín! Estuvimos en Andorra cuando pasó la tormenta que ha destruido todo el Sardinero y la barandilla de la Magdalena, pero hemos vividos unos vientos espectaculares!

  11. I actually like the fit of the Burda pants on me, I guess I must have a German built… But I hate, hate, hate jeans shopping. Bathing suit shopping not that much, luckily, it would be traumatic, because I live practically next to the beach… I'll keep the Jalie in mind, thanks!

  12. Thanks! I checked out those Cookie Johnsons. I was a bit confused when the first Google-results showed up, Magic Johnson all the way… Turns out Cookie is Magic's wife. the girls in the lookbook all have round hips so I guess these would probably fit me but I'm afraid they're not available in Europe. I'll have to keep my eyes open for these!

  13. Thanks! I have fairly long legs but emphasizing this is never a bad thing, I would think… You really should make pants, it's not really that hard at all. If I can do it, I think most people can (just make sure you sew the crotch seams first and then the inner leg seams in one long seam like I did with my leggings and explained in an older post) What can be tricky is the fit. I'm really happy with the fit of the Burda patterns, but the Papercut pants look weird on me… It's a matter of having adjusting skills or finding pants that are designed for your built, I guess.

  14. Gracias Sonia! La siguiente sería un poco más pequeño. Siempre hay que adivinar un poco con los patrones como son, algunas quedan pequeños, algunos grandes. Según mis medidas tenía que coser el 44 y me he ariesgado con el 42, pero puedo bajar mas…

  15. Thanks! I guess not many husbands are wild about this style, while the wives actually like this. They're not really fashion-educated, I guess. But in his defense, he did say I should go with the hem splits. And he went to the Balenciaga museum with me and he actually enjoyed himself and read many of the explanations and took a lot of closer looks!
