Style Arc Bob Pants: Peer Pressure Pants

 Now here's something I don't say very often 
"I made these because everyone else made a pair and they looked great on them"

Style Arc Bob pants

and even more of a surprise:

"And they turned out pretty great!"


Pretty much straight size 18, with the usual adjustments: moved the side seams towards the front by an inch (you can see that on the grid board photo above, and on this inside out flatlay photo.




changed the pockets to hang from the waistband, and faced the visible edge.
used the selvedge edge as a trim on the inside waistband and visible on the hem



And I have two more cut out right now, ready to sew!
