Love Notions Duet Trouser Ponte Knit Pants

Girl M wanted some scrub type pants in knit for work.  The woven ones were ok but she thought that knit pants would be more comfortable and allow her more movement while working.  The Love Notions Duet Trousers were on sale at the perfect time so why not try to make them in a ponte knit?

She loved the pants and the fit was great!  Only a quick photo since she was leaving for work.

She liked the yoga style waistband and thought the pockets were ok.  Not too bad for a trial pair.  They are wearable and she liked the color too.

I'm trying to use up some of my stash fabric.  Brown ponte knit is next in line to cut.

I added the pockets from Simplicity 8841 to this pair.  Girl M likes them much better.  She preferred deeper pockets for all her stuff she carries at work. (gloves, garbage bags & masks!)

Girl M. also asked for the pants to be longer.  I ended up adding 2" in length.

Leg-$6.00 pants


I had to go back into the waistband and add elastic to help hold the pants up after a long shift for Girl M.  Easy fix and now these are her favorite work pants.

Until next time................

  2. I love her pants! They look good on her and having deep pockets for all her work things was a good change.
