In this video (Part 1), I’m doing a 2024 update on the Love Notions pants patterns I get asked about all the time—because “perfect pants” is never just one pattern. I’m walking you through how I think about styling first (what you actually want to wear day-to-day), and then matching that to the right pattern, fabric, and fit approach so you’re not wasting time or yardage. If you’ve been staring at the Love Notions catalog wondering where to start, this is the roadmap. I also point you to the specific patterns I’m covering—Duet Trousers, Legato Jeans, and Summer Caye—and what makes each one worth considering depending on whether you want a trouser look, a jeans fit, or something more warm-weather friendly. And because you know I’m always going to bring it back to fit, I’m sharing my free pants fitting course so you can get a better result no matter which pattern you pick. If you’re ready to shop, I’ve got my Love Notions link and the October 2024 coupon code (KIMSEWS45) listed so you can save while you plan your next pair.
