Style Arc Sewing Pattern - Bob Woven Pant (Sizes 04-16)

These pants are so freaking cute. I love the barrel shape style. I loved this customizable pattern. Special note: this is NOT like butterick, vogue, simplicity patterns. This is a not dressmakers pattern, it is a DRAFTING PATTERN. If you are from the USA, you better have sewing experience to use this. I have been sewing for 30 yrs so it wasn't a problem for me. I basically had to redraft the pattern to adjust the length because it comes super short. Keep in mind I am only 5'3 and I had to add about 4-6" to length. I also added outside pockets because I thought it would be cute. I used the size 6- I am 5'3" and weight 125lbs. It really fit well. I have made 2 pairs of pants and will be making some for summer also.

Love this pattern. I hate to sew and when I do, I’m not very good at it. But saw this pattern a number of years ago and finally purchased it. I weigh 110 and am 5’’1” tall. I thought I would need to shorten the leg length a lot but ended up only shortening a couple of inches.

I love the simplicity and style of the pants. In fact I plan to sew a whole fleet for myself in several colors. But… the instructions are very unclear as to how to put together. I haven’t sewn pants for several years but I remember my mother teaching me that you put one leg inside the other to sew the crotch. Their instructions consisted of a small bit of text and then some colored lines on the drawing and arrows.Since this is a basic pattern I would assume that novices would be trying it out. Well with no sewing experience you would be lost and frustrated. It’s hard to figure out what to do with the big pattern companies instructions sometimes AND they have drawings.Okay, let’s end with another plus. The patterns come in extended sizes. Wow! That’s awesome. From very small to I believe 32? I think that could be a definite draw for people who do always have choices at the fabric store. One more thing, the pattern paper is thick not tissue paper. So because I want to use this pattern several times I won’t have to worry about it tearing or having to trace it onto heavier paper.

I really enjoy Style Arc patterns. They fit well and are easy to make.

I am looking forward to making these pants. I love style arc because of the fit and style.

I’ve made it twice. I always lengthen it 2” at the middle of the leg section , not at the bottom. I also deepen the crotch curve. Love the way the waistband is attached. Love the pockets. Most comfortable to wear in my whole closet!

I purchased two different sizes and made two different pairs. The waistband should be a 1:1 ratio, but the back is at least 3-4" too wide, so you'll need to make some adjustments to make the waistband fit the entire circumference of the pants, or make a bigger waistband. If you're a new sexist, this might be a challenge, so just be aware.

I'm a fairly new sewer- these were easy to make and they fit on the first try. LOVE THIS PATTERN. I have made four pairs using this pattern. I have used woven and knit fabrics. These are my new favorite pants. so very stylish. The black polka dot pair is the only knit, the others are woven fabrics.
