Stretch Coral Landers



True Bias Lander Pants are my favorite pants this summer and I made a pair from stretch fabric. The recommended fabric for the Lander Pants are .....Medium to heavy bottomweight fabrics with little to no stretch, such as twill, linen, corduroy and denim.







Let's talk about that a bit on this blog post.  I really wanted to use this Style Maker Fabrics' Mid Weight Coral Stretch Denim for a pair of Landers.  I sent Kelli a message through Instagram about using a stretch and she responded with wonderful advice.  "I've used stretch with success and it does help with recovery and comfort.  Just be careful not to take the hips in too much to accommodate for the stretch or you will get drag lines."

I love the comfort of these stretch Landers but I do have more drag lines than my first pair   Now this could be for more reasons than the stretch fabric.



I have made some adjustments from that first pair and have made an olive twill pair for Minerva Crafts, not on the blog but can see on this Instagram post   I used Closet Case Pants fitting adjustment to lengthen crotch by  "Add width off to inseam (or front thigh) to lengthen front crotch curve"  Oh, my gosh this made such a difference in comfort.  I went back and let a bit out of the inseam of my first pair and did the same on my McCall's overalls.  This little 1/4" adjustment makes an amazing difference in fit.



I also tried another adjustment the Round Pubis but didn't do it correctly and I have a funny tuck at the bottom of my button fly, I will need to work on that a bit and you can really see it in this photo


These stretch denim Landers go big with the win for comfort but in the future the Landers will be made from non-stretch fabric and I will save the stretch fabric for my Ginger Jeans.


Sewing is all about learning and making adjustments, right?  I learned something from this pair but will wear the heck out of them because they feel so good.  Also, I think after a washing and drying some of the wrinkles will be eliminated, we will see.




The color, amount of stretch and hand of this coral denim is amazing.  My jean buttons come form Wawak

  4. Was there any reason you decided on the fly opening on the opposite side? Still a good fitting pant.

  5. These are so cute! I didn't notice anything about the fit due to stretch. The color is great.

  6. My wish right now is that God should continue to bless Dr Emu for his good works towards the life of those people who are heart broken. My name is Michael DeBruin and I am from the USA, it's been a while since my lover's attitude changed from being the caring type she has been to me, but later turned out not to be caring at all. But not long, I later discovered that my lover was having an affair with someone else. and also she told me she doesn't need me after all we pass through then a friend told me about a spell caster. that with the spell I will get back my woman, I took his cell number then called him and also what's-app him which he reply to me and I did some sacrifices to the spell man and he bought the items for me which he used for the sacrifices and later called me that before 48 hours my love will come back to me and now we are more in love with each other than ever. you can reach him on WhatsApp +2347012841542 or reach him via mail ; emutemple@gmail.com , my lover returned back and broke up with the other guy she was having a relationship with... Thank you Dr Emu.
