I've recently fallen in love with the Dressy Track pants or Dressy Joggers. Lets call it whatever you like....I love the style, it can be dressed up or dressed down. As usual I was shopping and found a pair which I fell head over heals for....BUT!!!!! The price was not attractive, I think its a seamstress "THING". When you know you can sew it WHY buy it!!!! LOL
I then went online and did my research I found some starting at $40 but the quality was what I call a ONE TIME WEAR. Wash it and its over, it either fades or fall apart. Then I looked at the more pricier ones, which the lower priced ones looked just as good. But again not impressed with the prices.
So I decided to make my own, it is only just a pair of straight pants. EASY EASY EASY!!!!
Here's a few that caught my eye.......
But the PRICE IS LIKE WOOOOOOOWWWWWW! But very nice!
This is the style is was going for ........Love love love!
I used a pattern in my stash so I can do a review for sewers that wanted to try. I cut McCalls 6113 view C and of course I modified it to my likings.....only to later find Simplicity 1887 in my stash.....This pattern is great for Track Pants no modification needed. View A is perfect.....if only I had my patterns organized maybe I would have noticed that I owned this one. Oh well it turned out beautiful.....I'm in LOVE with them!!!!!!
And here's my final results........
Hope you love them as much as I do!
