Finished #sewing the #BJD 'Sarouel' pants.
Image: Side by side photo of photo reference for some doll pants and the actual #doll pants I made
Pattern is from book Tiny Wardrobe by Hanom / Satomi Fujii ISBN: 978-4-86505-226-8
At first I thought that reversing the hem on the inside out leg would salvage it by placing a ribbon on one ankle but - nope, somehow managed to sew the front seam outside in as well. 🤦🏿♀️
(The incorrect seam is not pictured)
Pants pictured are largest pattern variation
@jupitersigh It feels like some of the English translations are a little off ? But most on the instructions are easy to navigate if you scrutinise the pictures if you got confused.
The pants pattern was easy to make even though I used poss the worst fabric choice - light - muslin, and hand sewing.
If you used a tight weave light cotton or linen (and also used fray check which the tutorial said to do, but I didn't as it was just a mock up) then this could be a nice relatively quick project.
@Faintdreams The Muslim looks so nice and delicate, but I can see how it would be difficult without using fray check. It does look lovely though!
Yeah, I've found some of the English confusing too, but I need to try and make more from that book.
I have some of her patterns in the Dolly Dolly magazines as well that I'd like to try out. Do you have any of those magazines?
@jupitersigh the Closet Historian on YouTube has a series of videos about learning Draping, they are long and I haven't gotten through them all yet but they are super detailed.
