By the way, that is exactly how I missed the CT I fit it the first time without the waistband and elastic. Now, at the same time that the front is trimmed away, the front waistline -particularly at CF – must be lowered because the CF line is too long. If you find that you don’t have enough fabric to go around after having trimmed out the front, you’ll need to add that at the side seam, correct? But you already knew that because you went back to read Anatomy pt. Already the crotch curve is looking nicer. Below I’ve marked off about half an inch, tapering it to nothing where it hits the deepest portion of the crotch curve.īelow you can see the effect once the excess is trimmed away. To correct the CT, you have to scoop out the front. The front is to the left (in case you don’t sew and don’t know what you’re looking at). ~sigh~ on to the matter at hand.Īs I mentioned in Anatomy of a Camel Toe part two, the CT is usually formed because the center front of the pant has too much fabric in it (I’d suggest you revisit that post before this one). I suppose I can take solace in the fact that I’d said it was there when I first looked at the pattern, well before I ever cut it out. Once I finished the band and put them on, darn it all, there was that little booger in my crotch. By the way, the alternative title for this post is Pattern String Codes part 4 so this comes on the tail of parts two and three.Īnyway, being in a hurry as I was and happy to report the pant block was pretty good (I still say it wasn’t bad for my figure type), I hadn’t actually finished the waist off with the elastic waistband and this proved to be my undoing. Rather, the lesson for today boys and girls is to never consider your fitting sample ready for fitting analysis until you’ve finished sewing it. I suppose I should open with a lecture to do what I say and not as I do but I think I’ll pass.
