Inspiration...Cuffed Pants

Cuffed pants...it has been a while since I have noticed them in the stores.  Here's this nice of slim pants with cuffs:


Thisi s the Lafayette 148 New York Clinton Gateway Cloth Cuffed Pants with Pickstich Detail.  Price tag:  $498.00.   Details:  11" rise, 29" inseam, 14" leg opening (these 3 details on a size 8 pant),  side slip pockets, back welt pockets, straight leg, ankle length, cuffed hem, hook/zip fly, belt loops, and pickstitch detail.  For a closer look, go to Neiman Marcus.  Don't forget to check out the "How to Wear It" option. 

Here's a pattern that may work:


This is Vogue 1571.  The pattern includes a slim leg pant.  The bonus with the pattern is you would also get a jacket pattern.   This pattern doesn't seem to have pockets so you would need to add them along with the cuffs.  Here's a little bit of information on adding portions to a pant pattern:

1.  Side pockets - Here is a Seamwork tutorial on Drafting Side Pockets.
2.  Welt pockets - Here is a Silhouettes Pattern tutorial on How to Sew a Welt Pocket
3.  Adding cuffs - Tutorial .  You may want to look at several different tutorials for this one.
4.  Pickstitch - How to Sew a Pickstitch.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful for your wardrobe.

Happy Stitching!
