I saw this in the instructions:<br /> stretching bottom of leg opening as needed to fit curves of sole.</p> <p>Did you do that? Since its knit it wont lay perfectly like cotton does </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-sew#post-2026559 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:02:32 +0000 blackbird 2026559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lion: ugh BOO. Just lop the feet off and call it "pants" lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-sew#post-2026541 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:52:26 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2026541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @looch: I figured out the legs....I just lined up the edges and didnt worry about the fact that they didnt lay flat (which makes sense). But the feet? Disaster. Huge disaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-sew#post-2026521 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:41:24 +0000 looch 2026521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have made pants before and that was how I did them, no problem lining them up. Maybe you need to do a test pair using a different material that doesn't pull and stretch?</p> <p>Take a pair of your pajama pants, turn them inside out. Fold them in half using the way the fabric is cut as a guide, like if you were creasing the legs. See how they kind of curve? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-sew#post-2026279 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 18:42:50 +0000 blackbird 2026279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pants don't line up perfectly because the butt is bigger! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-sew#post-2026253 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 18:30:21 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2026253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just attempted to make some pants for baby girl and I got so frustrated I had to walk away. After taking over an hour to cut out all the pieces (knit is really hard to cut!) I tried to follow the instructions to line up the edges to sew....but they don't line up! I thought maybe I cut them wrong, but the patterns don't line up either. Am I missing something? </p> <p>These are the instructions im trying to follow....<br /> <a href="http://www.sewmuchado.com/2014/05/free-footed-baby-pants-pattern.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sewmuchado.com/2014/05/free-footed-baby-pants-pattern.html</a> </p>
