Inspiration...Slim Legged Pants

It is time to start looking toward fall and thinking about late summer and early fall.  Pants are something that are always needed in my wardrobe.  Here is a nice versatile pant:


This is the Lafayette 148 Gramercy Acclaim-Stretch Pants. Price tag: $448.00.  Details: Approximate measurements: 8-inch front rise, 28-inch inseam, 36-in outseam, 13-inch leg opening; sits at natural waist, slim through thigh, hidden side zipper, narrow leg opening, cropped at ankle, nylon/spandex fabric.  

This reminds me a little bit of cigarette pants.  However, the first pattern that came to mind is this one:


This is Textile Studios Soho Pant pattern.  This is a long out-of-print pattern but you could probably find one looking into the used pattern market.  This pant has a high concealed elastic waist with 14" leg opening, and invisible zipper at the hip.  

The next pattern that came to mind is:


This is the Seamwork-Colette Clover pant pattern.  Two versions are included ankle length and cropped.  This pattern requires a stretch woven.

I think both of these pants would work well for the inspiration photo.  You might get by with using a double-needle and stitching down the front/back of the pant if you are so inclined.

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
