Try cutting it on the bias for some stretch. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Land of Oz Sent: Sunday, July 08, 2007 5:42 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] riding breeches
I need to make a pair of these: http://www.suitability.com/item.cfm?catID=150&invID=739 http://tinyurl.com/ytd9sa If that doesn't get you there, it's the women's stretch breech pattern at suitability.com Finding fabric with enough stretch *and* some cotton content is a chore from local sources, but the bigger problem (no pun intended) is that I need to size it up. The pattern is basically two pieces, plus the waistband. The main pattern piece is shaped like a fat wishbone or Y. What is the best way to add some width to the pieces? The wearer will probably need additional room from calf to waist. Thanks!
