Has any one made the Lainey pants? I printed the pattern and pinning it all and it showed strips for the pants. I am guessing the binding but no where does it give measurements, am I just to measure and cut my own? Also it talks about attaching the ruffle to the pants, the pattern pieces are not labeled but I cant find the ruffle piece. So I am a little lost right now...
Thanks Sheila
Hi Sheila. Did you read the cutting instruction? Sometimes the cutting instructions will tell you to cut specific sized pieces for bindings and ruffles. For example, the cutting instructions might say something like “cut 2 strips 3”x14” for binding.” Same with ruffles. Often there are just measurements in the cutting instructions For these strip types of pieces. I hope this helps. I haven’t made Lainey so that’s all I can offer.
Pamela thanks for your response. I have read it several times thinking I might have missed it but its no where. I even pulled up the pattern on my computer again and went sheet by sheet to see if I missed pages that didn't print off. But nothing. Guess I will kind of wing it. Or do without the ruffles. Kind of discouraging since I already cut out the pant leg part.
I downloaded the pattern and I see what you mean. I would cut the binding strips 3”x24-25”. That would give you what you need to make the bottoms of the pants gathered to 24” as suggested. Then cut your ruffles 3”-4” wide and the width of your fabric (55”-60”). If you plan to Hem your ruffles go 4” wide. Maybe go closer to 3” if you plan to leave them raw. Good luck!
I will try that and thank you so much Pamela
