Tip and Hints - the Free Range Slacks

Hello
I have loved this pattern ever since I first made a pair only last summer. Over the past two months I have made two more pairs. They are a wonderfully giving make and they are a total joy to sew.
Why not cut a pair out and use this little vlog as an additional set of instructions as you sew with me.
I have another video with a guide on sewing the flat fell seams for the free range slacks

I LOVE the 10D foot for edgestitching (and understitching, LOL)! Those slacks are wonderful on you!

[@runningsewandsew]

You are my 10D influencer x

[@karenstrand1822]

Wonderful video Judi! I especially loved all the up close details you shared. I felt like I was in a sewing class with you as my teacher💛

[@runningsewandsew]

Oh I do hope that I wasn't too bossy x

[@sewniceandhandmade]

You've convinced me......I'm getting the pattern. Excellent sew along, love your top stitching. 😊

[@runningsewandsew]

Enjoy making them x

[@kiwikiwi5505]

Goods tips - cutting out a small notch on the pocket facing and top stitching on the wrong side. I have just finished my first pair of Free Range Slacks. Only needed minimal alterations: flat butt, sway back and shortened leg. Thrilled with the finish.

[@runningsewandsew]

They really are wonderful trousers x

[@sheilaraynor9949]

[@runningsewandsew]

[@morfuddkeidel4996]

Thank you for the tutorial I’m new dressmaking not made a pair of trousers but these look perfect when I get more experience x

[@runningsewandsew]

I really hope my series of vlogs on these trousers are of help to you x

[@christineallen162]

So neat hems and seams. I'm off to buy a hot hemmer. Hopefully, with this tool, I can try to emulate your neatness. ❤

[@runningsewandsew]

They are a must!x

[@sew_with_mel]

You’re a natural teacher Judi…looking forward to more sewalongs…what’s next???

[@runningsewandsew]

Thanks Mel - there will be one xx

[@pollydolly9723]

Beautiful work Judi!

[@runningsewandsew]

Thank you x

[@bridget9111]

Beautiful make those seams are perfection ❤you have got such a good fit on your slacks I’m envious. I made them and found I was drowning in them for my size I had the same trouble with the pietras. I’ll have to have another go, I love yours so much perfect summer cropped trousers ❤

[@sewing_myhappyplacepauline223]

I have this pattern but yet to make up. I also had a problem with the Pietras so I think a toile may be a good idea?

[@runningsewandsew]

My recommendation is go for your body measurements and forget the finished measurements x

[@bridget9111]

Interesting thank you Judy ❤

[@chrisorchin7955]

Learning soo much .thankyou!

[@runningsewandsew]

You are so welcome!

[@tracyfrost]

Are all the seams flat felled?

[@runningsewandsew]

Yes they are, except for the inside seams which I french seamed x

[@sallyadams3981]

Did you find the pocket facings firm enough without interfacing?

[@runningsewandsew]

I sure did!
