When I make bottoms bigger I add to the waistband and the centre back seam.
Could you work backwards from there?
Sorry not to be more help.

Just saw this post… 2 pairs of size 14 boys school pants will make a size 3 Field trip cargo pants!!
Original pants were worn on the knees, (so excluding the middles of the front pant legs), this is what I had left over:
Two top backs, one top front, and the waist band of both pairs. If I used the original belt loops I would have had more left…[Read more]

Match the curved edges at the bottom of the pocket. Leave a opening to turn the pocket. The longer pocket piece will fold over towards the back of the pocket.
Does that help?

Just getting started on the Bear Carrier project and I’m having trouble following the pocket instructions. I get step one, sew the top edges together, and I’m clear on step two, but I’m a bit confused by the directions thereafter. Can anyone clarify?
Thanks!

You are so right. I figured it was me as I am a computer moron.
I end up just scrolling through pages looking for posts.

I love the color selection. I’ve never seen them before. My middle son prefers snaps on his sleepover pajamas, so these may come in handy there too.

I am wondering what could be done to improve the search function? I just searched for the Fabric Scrooge thread using the forum search box – I typed it in several different ways, in quotation marks, without quotation marks, and it wouldn’t come up at all. I was able to find it easily by typing “Oliver+S fabric scrooge” into Google so it’s not…[Read more]

I had 21 inches of 56″ wide twill, out of which I was determined to make a pair of Field Trip cargos for my son. I managed to cut all the 18-24 month pieces out of that fabric except for the cargo pockets themselves (and the waistband facing which I would have used a lighter fabric for anyway). He’s 1 – I figure he doesn’t need the cargo pockets anyway.

They are metal.
