seeking gusseted pants pattern
Penny Schywn
gusseted, with a drawstring type ( usually webbing & elastic waist) Pretty
popular with the youth set.
Thanks

One of the Folkwear patterns has one that could be adapted I think. It's
harem pants, but I can't remember what the name of the pattern is. You
can order them from Lark books. Bess

They are on the web, but I am not sure where.

I've never seen this except in Gramici's RTW, but I've adapted a "japanese
farmer pants" pattern to this by raising the crotch and inserting the gusset.
Very comfortable. I think I started with an old Kwik-Sew or Stretch and Sew
pattern. For climbing pants, I think I'd reduce the lower leg width and
add elastic or such to help with snagging. Enough rise in the body of
the pants seems to be critical in keeping these pants on and comfortable.

Kay thanks. Land's End now has a knock-off also but without a gusset.
Since these are for my kids who *have* to be comfortable, a true climbing
pants isn't necessary ( but would be *cool*). I think what I'm going to do
is take a baggy sweats pattern I already have, add a side seam/pockets and
them just do the gramicci style waistband. BTW if anyone wants to know how
do a webbing/tab buckle waistband, my projects page has instructions.

this. (I'm sure it would help if I knew what a ladder lock is.) Anybody
know if there's a site that has a picture of something with this waistband?
I'm curious!

Hi Sharon et all:
Please, if something on my site is not clear, let me know! My goal is to
clarify, not confuse!
A ladderlock is a Delrin ( black plastic) buckle that holds webbing and is
adjustable. If you look at any daypack, it is most likely the one on the
shoulder strap. One part has the adjustable piece of webbing ( that you
pull on to lengthen and shorten) the other end probably attaches to the
shoulder strap.
If there is another part of the instructions that you don't get PLEASE let
me know. It is a challenge to write clear instructions without a graphic to
illustrate.
The advantages of this type of waistband is that it more secure than plain
elastic, and less hassle than a drawstring. Plus, climbing pants are "cool"
right now. With a webbing/tab waistband, the elastic retains some
functionality, but you can loosen or tighten the webbing for easy on/off,
potluck dinners, etc.
Here's a site that shows the pants/wasitband (albeit not in closeup) that I
am referring to.

A ladder lock is the gizmo that lets the straps on backpacks be adjusted
in length. I substitute a plastic side-release buckle for the ladder lock,
because I hate threading ladderlocks. ;-)

I'm in the middle of moving from one house to another and it may be
months before I can locate particular magazine articles again, but I
think that _Threads_ had an article in the past 6 months about these
waistbands, with several good pictures.
