Style Arc Bob trousers
I made another pair of trousers! This one is going to be written up for the Minerva blog in exchange for the fabric, so I won't do a full post, but I thought I'd quickly record the main pieces of information so I don't forget them.
Pattern: Bob trousers by Style Arc
Size: 16
Fabric: Robert Kaufman cotton Twill in the mustard colour way, gifted by Minerva in exchange for a blog post. I initially planned on making a jacket with this, but it was lighter and browner than I expected, so switched to these trousers.
Instructions: are minimal, on a level with Burda, but visual, which I like better than the Burda instructions.
The waistband instructions were a bit weird though, it has you sewing the elastic to the waistband casing before you attach it to the trousers, which seems like a recipe for disaster. I followed the instructions for the Arenites instead, including top stitching the elastic to the casing giving a shirred effect I probably won't do that next time though.
Adjustments: I shortened the legs by three inches, and did an inch full seat adjustment (my first time for this, I don't know why I put it off for so long). I think it needs slightly more on the bum for next time, but its definitely an improvement on the Arenites.
Would make again?: Definitely. Delighted with these and almost finished my second pair.
