This is my second version of this pattern using white and black seersucker. I used a metal zipper from my stash since I didn’t have an invisible small white zipper, and I used heavier interfacing for the waistband. My original pattern review can be found here.
I was wearing these pants when my workmates and I were eating lunch at the FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) campus near our workplace the other day. The woman was photographing students on the campus and included our group. Hopefully these pants are photogenic.
Ooh they look great in seersucker. Maybe I should try doing mine in a similar fabric…
Thank you! The seersucker is very comfortable during our humid NYC summers. I’ve been wearing it to work many times since I’ve made it.
Lady, you are making me re-think vintage capri patterns! I swore pant-patterns from older eras off after I had some fit issues like Tilly, but these look fabulous on you! Perfect, perfect. The looseness gives is a casual/loungey/elegance and the seersucker is lovely.
I know I’m risking sounding like a crazy fan-girl, but I have to tell you that I love your blog. LOVE it. Love, love, love it. I check all the time to see what you’ve been sewing and creating, and I would one day like to sew as well as you and have a great stash of vintage patterns/fabrics. I love everything you make! And you’re so pretty! Okay, sorry. I’m all done here
Just wanted to let you know that this is one of my favorite sewing blogs to read.
Beautiful capri pants, and the side zipper looks great!
Awwwww, thank you Allie!
Ali, you should definitely re-think making capris. I didn’t talk about it here at all since I did this the first time I made these pants, but there was some tweaking involved in getting the pattern to fit. It’s been really hot and humid in NYC these past few weeks and capris are a really practical way to stay cool while looking pulled-together.
