Sew What You Need June: Pull-on Navy Cotton Sateen Pants / OOP Butterick 6717


For "sew what you need June" another pair of pull-on cotton pants was on top of the list.  And out-of-print (OOP) Butterick 6717 is my current go-to pants pattern.  


These are super comfortable and there are no dislikes with this well-drafted pattern.  I did leave off the side pockets since I usually carry a bag.  And I shortened the length three inches, I should have left half inch to give an inch hem.  These have a half inch top-stitched hem.  The left leg is shortened an additional half inch to address one leg being shorter than the other.  Otherwise there were no other adjustments.  

The fabric is a navy cotton sateen that has been in the stash for years.  It was pre-treated with a tumble in the washing machine and dryer followed by a steam pressing.
