Stash busting: Pull-on Denim Pants / OOP Butterick 6716


What to say about this project?  It's a pair of pull-on pants made with out-of-print (OOP) Butterick 6717.  The print version of this pattern is no longer available but it is still available on the Simplicity.com website as a PDF pattern.  This pattern has made an appearance here several times.  It's become my go-to pants pattern.  

This pair once again does not have the side pockets and the length is shortened about an inch and a half with a three quarter inch hem.  

The fabric has been in the stash for decades.  It's from Fanny Fabrics back in the day prior to their closure in 2005.  I figured since I used this denim for the collar of the last project, why not make a pair of pants to go with the top?   And that's how I ended up with a pair of pull-on denim pants.  

The fabric was previously pre-treated with a tumble in the washing machine and dryer before hitting the ironing board for a steam press.

Year in Review
