Karadimos Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yesterday I just made myself a new pair of pirate pants (I had nothing since I've lost quite a bit of weight). I went to JoAnn's and found McCall's 5858 pattern. http://mccallpattern.mccall.com/m5858-products-10070.php I used brown linen and completely cut out the pattern, fabric, and sewed the entire thing while watching 'The Shining'. So it's an easy, very quick pattern. You can see the results below. It does have a high waist, if you are interested in making them. I think they'll fit better once they're worn and washed a few times. I'm trying to set up a real Pirate-themed town...somewhere. I need some help with it.

Karadimos Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 There are usable patterns in the pattern books besides the costume section - some people realize that and some don't. There's a lot of "new" designs that are reworked old designs. I'm trying to set up a real Pirate-themed town...somewhere. I need some help with it.

Jas. Hook Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hummmmm... a high waisted pair of breeches for M'lady. I be a wondering if some pewter or brass buttons at ye calf would add to the look. Jas.

Karadimos Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 I have a small brass button at each calf, but I added them after I took the picture. I'm trying to set up a real Pirate-themed town...somewhere. I need some help with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
