FREE tutorial on how to modify the Mega Ruffle Pants pattern from Jocole to eliminate the ruffe and turn them into straight leg pants.
This is how I modify the pattern to use for my son (he's not a fan of ruffles).
Materials Needed:
Mega Ruffle Pants -- pdf sewing pattern
pencil or pen
ruler
scissors
paper and tape
Suggested Fabrics:
Lightweight woven fabrics like
quilting cottons, flannel, batiste, lawn, broadcloth, linen, chambray, poplin,
seersucker, lightweight suiting fabrics, lightweight denim, twill, lightweight
corduroy
*** Alternative Fabrics: Consider making your Mega Ruffle
Pants out of knit fabrics like: jersey, interlock or rib knit.
Cutting Instructions:
Makes sure you cut your pieces so that you have 2 opposite front leg pieces and 2 opposite back legs pieces.
The following picture is shown on a size 5, the blue lines are the original pattern lines, the RED lines are the newer pattern adjustment lines.
Sewing Instructions:
Compete Steps 1 through 21 shown exactly like in the pdf pattern.
Skip steps 22 through 33 (the ruffle instructions). Instead press up the hem 3/4" and topstitch it in place.
