So I do not remember how I got to the website of Schnittmuster Berlin and found the Nuru pants, but I somehow did. I checked the images and thought they looked cool with the interesting yoke and wide legs. So, I decided to purchase the pattern and got to work.
I found some slightly stretchy grey fabric in the hoard and decided that was going to be nice to wear. Then I printed the pattern, put it all together and cut out the size I thought I needed. The pieces were cut from the fabric and I followed the instructions for the sewing. The pocket and yoke construction were fascinating but worked well and while I ignored some parts of the waistband construction, I love how it turned out.
However, once done, the whole thing is just a little bit too large. I can’t tell if it’s just the stretch content that’s messing it up, or whether I just made a size too large or something else entirely. I hoped to fix it by adding some buttonhole elastic along the back edge but this isn’t sufficient. That might also be because I’m so used to wearing pants with the waistline at my waist, that this model with a relatively low waistline at the front is messing me up. I do love the fabric but because of the weird side seams, I don’t think it’ll be trivial to take it in. I may have to resort to suspenders to wear this one…
