Flat Butt Breakthrough!

So remember this was my first full pants muslin with no flat butt adjustment.


Peggy from Silhouette Patterns and Sandra Betzina recommend removing a wedge starting 1" below the crotch at the inner leg seam and tapering out to nothing. I hung the pants on a hanger to do it because it's hard when they're lying flat.


Here's what it looks like flat - I took 5/8" at the inner leg.


So here's one leg done completely. See the one on the left still has that bad diagonal wrinkle from hip to knee that I thought would need a different adjustment, but the wedge took care of that on the right.


And here's the other side adjusted - other than not being ironed, there's no more wrinkle! Yippee!


I just have to true the grainline (she shows that in her lesson on Craftsy), and I think I'm ready to cut some real fabric. Go have yourself a great Sunday, too!
