I've been asked to take in some men's dress pants, they have the back seam that should allow for easy alterations, I undo it all, then sew together and nothing lines up right. I'm a fairly experienced seams-mistress, but this is kicking my butt. Please email me with your tips and tricks. I don't want to hand these back to my client un-finished. funtobewithlp@yahoo.comLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338276170672591194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-71105599259869620272009-03-25T22:51:00.000-07:002009-03-25T22:51:00.000-07:00Or can you recommend a link about this topic.

I just did 3 pair last week.<BR/><BR/>Yes, you can use the word "lips" for the welt portion of the pocket - I've seen it used that way in English in many places. Almost all the men's pants I've seen have only the single lip/welt on the bottom of the back pockets.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640672985810558308.post-49421174055632791382007-09-24T07:00:00.000-07:002007-09-24T07:00:00.000-07:00Thank you, Leslie, I thought about this too.

That way you could reduce wrinkling through the more fitted area, and still retain drape through the legs. I think Erica of Bound By My Hook used this method awhile back.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529616833108473400noreply@blogger.com
