I like them. Worst that can happen, they'll be your "house pants".

They look like great fitting house pants, or pjs, especially if they have an elastic waist. Look at this as a trial run of the pattern.

Just an FYI: Horizontal seams at the knees are not long for this world. The add on strips would have been better put at the hems, where there is no stress.

Keep sewing your clothes! You've got a good start.

I love your pants & especially like the fabric strip at the knees. I would wear the out & about & would love to hear what kind of comments you receive on them. I think it will catch on & I wouldn't tell anyone it was a mistake....just a new design that you invented.

I agree with everyone's comments. They fit very nicely. You can sew but you just need instructions on reading the patterns. Personally I think they are quite cute & you could wear them most anyplace. If you don't feel comfortable wearing them like to the store then just wear them around the house. You just may be onto something... You never know but whatever you do don't loose your sense of humor. It is great!

My friend had been quilting for years but never learned to sew anything else. She took a couple Craftsy classes and is now sewing pj's, t shirts, pants, everything. She said their sewing classes were great.

I had to add the seam there because I was piecing leftover fabric together to get enough fabric for the pants. I would have liked to have the seam on the back of the leg, but that pattern piece was too wide for the remaining fabric. The seam line looked pretty bad on the front so I added the fabric strips to make it look like it was intentional. It sits at the top of the knee so maybe the stress won't be too bad. If a hole appears I'll just be that much more fashionable with a knee patch! LOL! I like your idea of strips of fabric on the hem as a new design element. The first time I made these pants there was supposed to be a 1.5" hem. I was surprised when I tried them on that I could only put a .5" hem on them because of my leg length. I could add a strip of fabric the next time I come up short!
