I made a pair of Jones Trousers using the pattern by Goldfinch Textile Studio, using poly-cotton twill fabric.
This is what it looks like. I made a few changes including the directions of the front tucks, the pant lengths, and elimination of the pant leg band, in order to fit my preference and my leg length.
It's a wonderful pair of pants. It has huge pockets, and it's very comfortable.
What I was really excited about this sewing pattern is the fact the pattern pieces are designed to be no waste or minimal waste. As you can see below, there's almost no remnants after cutting all the pieces.
Below is the view after the pieces were cut.
So, if you don't want to leave any wasted fabric, this is wonderful. It does what it promised.
However, after wearing it several times, I found the pants a little too baggy for my preference, and this time I did not make any adjustment for that. I just wear them baggy. Also, when I shortened my pants, the gusset pieces made it a bit bulky at the ankles, and I know there has to be a better way to shortening the pants, but I did not try to make it better in my first try.
I look at other patterns by the Goldfinch Textile Studio and other ones in the cyber space, I wonder if the issues for me are the fit. I you like roomy, comfortable garments, maybe it's all right. But I am not sure if I like shirts without nicely fitted set-in sleeves right at the shoulders, for example. The pants with gussets, rather than curves for the crotch area, have a couple of spots of tension points where it starts to rip.
Although I love the idea of leaving no or minimum waste, I'll have to think hard about what I will do with the fit issues and length adjusting with this pants before I make another pair using this pattern.
