If I understand right, you add a 10cm square to the right of the eight of the circle. So also the length of the waist changes, or not? With additional 40cm the waist would be much to large :D Can you help me to understand better?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620195712121306493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-24647345289299799662018-07-18T03:55:49.201+02:002018-07-18T03:55:49.201+02:00Thank you!

I think that is very true when you are just starting to sew. So no need to apologize.<br />And to answer your question: These culottes offer less of a line of sight to one's underwear than skirts but more than trousers. These culottes have a rather wide hem so I guess it would not be impossible to get a glimpse of underwear when the lady wearing them is positioned right above the viewer. However, there is seam between the legs so it won't be a guaranteed show.Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-58369715381572517842018-01-09T22:53:23.116+01:002018-01-09T22:53:23.116+01:00Sorry for the weird question, but… do these culott...Sorry for the weird question, but… do these culottes show a direct line of sight to one's underwear?

Did a full circle about knee length, and added pockets. Can’t wait to wear them! The only real adjustment I made was to take some length off the crotch, to make it a bit higher. Oh and I added pockets... I wanted to be able to wear them on a cruise I’m going on in two months and thought they were the perfect solution to avoiding chafing!! :PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16707865004372408780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-16175219076831246702017-08-10T10:52:34.040+02:002017-08-10T10:52:34.040+02:00I used a zipper at the side seamI used a zipper at the side seamLaurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-68875726898124106052017-08-08T21:51:59.088+02:002017-08-08T21:51:59.088+02:00Can you tell me if you need to add extra to the wa...Can you tell me if you need to add extra to the waistband in order for it to go over the hips, is this an elasticated skirt/culottes or is a zip addedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08134800087727896150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-36432750000543432622017-07-26T20:38:46.990+02:002017-07-26T20:38:46.990+02:00dont understanded the waist partdont understanded the waist partKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000257723803798499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-84806870992114727532016-03-01T01:45:42.861+01:002016-03-01T01:45:42.861+01:00Hun,where's your Pinterest button?

Certainly not when you're new to sewing this kind of thing. <br />In this pattern, you draw the crotch curve from the pleat which you've already added to the center front. Bear in mind though that these are culottes, not really trousers. The fit is pretty much that of a flared skirt but with two legs and, accordingly, the crotch hangs a bit lower than it would in trousers.<br />By the way, I'm guessing from your name that you might be Dutch as well. If you think the language (no matter how good your English is, sewing terms can be confusing) in the tutorial may be causing an extra obstacle to understanding it, don't hesitate to email me with further questions in Dutch (email address is in the sidebar on the right, at the top of the page).Laurianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16602295642057814667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553172421381359137.post-74834503891878876712014-12-16T07:48:25.740+01:002014-12-16T07:48:25.740+01:00One more question...sorry..when you are marking th...One more question...sorry..when you are marking the sitting height from the centre front/back lines do you use the original cf/cb lines or do you use the line from where the 10cm pleat would end?
