Following a 1940's Pants Pattern: Sewing through the Decades
These are not the most flattering thing I've made for this project - but they are probably what I'll get the most wear out of! And they were probably the easiest/fastest piece in this project to make, even with the mistakes I made.
I liked this pattern so much that I followed it again, last friday. And I filmed that process, so you'll see a video about it very soon. I'm trying to double upload this week, since I feel a bit bad about doing so much sponsored content this month.
Anyway, here are the pants in action. Okay, there isn't much action. But this is how they look when worn!
Also - you might recognize the hat from my antique haul - I feel like it has shrunk since then since it isn't *super* comfortable but I love how it looks with this hair style, and I plan on wearing it often.
And one in black and white, since I thought that would be fun.

Oh yeah, nice ensemble!
Love you in this outfit!
Very nice black and white photo, and I love the whole ensemble.
I really like this outfit, it looks so great and gives the best 1940’s vibe. As far as I can tell. Not being an expert, that might not say a whole lot, but it does say I like it a lot. I so wish, this was still the style off today 🤗.
I love the black and white photo! It looks as though it could have been taken in the 40s!!
Don’t worry about doing sponsored content vs Patreon! Were all just here for the ride and that outlander dress is incredible!
i'm glad you like this pattern and it seems like a solid pants pattern. I think i like pants number 2 better but that might just be my favoring black over brown.
So enjoyed watching this that I might try my had at making a pair!
Have you considered doing a Hong Kong seam finish with flexilace? It would probably not add too much bulk!
You definitely look like a very professional person from 1940s, whether conducting trains or doing other jobs! The outfit is lovely and I enjoyed the whole process, including the mockup.
This outfit is going well. I love the trousers and it matches well with this blouse !
The outfit is adorable on you but it looks like you need a bit more room in the seat. It could just be the way you are standing but if not, you could gain 3/4” to 1” by scooping out the seat from the e line to the beginning of the front crotch curve, depending on how much of a seam allowance you have left. Please let
I loved these! And in my opinion, the lighter topstitching just set them off.
very cute outfit, can you mention the shirt pattern too?s! you definitely make sewing pants look easy. your sewing thru the decades project really resonates with me as a lover of historical things, am delighted to be able to witness your process.
this also makes me want to try using the pants pattern I have, you made it look really simple even though it isn't. love this series !
Cute! Your video inspired me to give making pants another go. I have a pair of almost finished ones I made but broke the zipper pull on (among other things wrong with it) and now I feel I should give it a try again! Also, that Outlander outfit was perfect!
