Pattern Test - North Point Trousers by Itch to Stitch

I was recently picked to test the pattern for the new North Point Trousers from Itch to Stitch. I have to say, if you're looking to make some amazing pants for yourself, look no further! The pattern is still on sale for a couple more days, so don't miss it.






While I can't promise the same for everyone, these fit me with no pattern modifications, which never happens for this curvy gal. They're my most comfortable pants, and have quickly become my favorite!




And don't be scared of the zip fly, the instructions in this pattern are amazing! This is my second zip fly ever, and it went in perfectly, it wasn't even hard! Here it is, complete with a little cat hair, before I put the waistband on. I love the contrasting stitching! I used it so if I had to rip something out, I could see the thread. But it went together so well, and I love how it turned out!



This was also my first time making welt pockets, which I found to be more difficult. While they aren't perfect, they're better than I thought they would be, given that I'd never done them before!

 

The front pockets are amazing. Because of how these trousers are constructed, they lay flat no matter what. There's no weird wrinkled up bulges after moving around all day. I made my pockets out of this really great hot pink leopard print fabric that's a lot of fun!


Don't miss the sale! It's on sale thru Tuesday for 20% off.
