Burda has edgier styles than BMV patterns; I like these pockets on this style; and I need work pants that fit well at the back. This pair will be part of my one pattern, one week challenge. I love the style and I have a couple of fabrics in my stash that will be great for work and on the weekend, so I’m hoping none of these will be wardrobe orphans and one pair may be vintage looking. You never know.
Last year I tested a range of pants to get my skills up and have pants that worked. The back was the usally my challenge so now I want to take my skills up another level – whatever that means. When I did my research on PR I found that Mushywear had done a great looking pair so I must be on the right track. She has such great style.
– Increasing back leg width by 2 cm and tapered from top to 6 cm
– Increased back crotch by 2cm.

On the weekend Angie checked the fit and I resewed the side seams out by 1/2cm.

Here’s a Burda skinny jeans version to try.

Hi Sharon. Wendy was working on a different burda pair with great detailing too.
That'll be great if you participate in OPOW too.
