Any one who sews, knows what a challenge fitting can be. The ultimate joy in learning to sew, and what makes it so rewarding, is the pleasure that comes from wearing clothes that fit and bring you joy. This blog is intended to help you make minor changes that can make a big difference in how your Folkwear's 229 Sailor Pants fit. If you are in between sizes, a simple grading technique can make all the difference. Or, if your waist is quite a bit smaller than you hips, a couple of easy-to-make darts can be all that stands between you and a good fit. Adjusting the depth of the crotch can make a difference too. The 229 Sailor Pants pattern was directly taken from an authentic pair of sailor pants from the 1940's. Part of the authenticity of this design
