This is a quick make!
I made the pants pattern in the past using out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 2372 and knew that it's a trustworthy pattern. I added 1/2" to the side seams, shortened the length and added a waistband after I missed the pencil note to raise the waistline. Oops! This is where OOP Vogue 9217 came into the picture. I used the waistband pattern piece to add the casing.
The fabric wasn't wide enough to cut the waistband on the grainline, so I had the lay out the pattern piece lengthwise on the crossgrain. Only to discover that there wasn't enough length to include a 5/8" seam allowance. I solved this by just serging the end pieces together. Thankfully, the difference in the print's direction won't be noticeable when worn.
The fabric is a cotton flannel and was previously pre-treated.
