Quote from: Robb on Today at 06:01:06 AMI have used fabric from Nooteboom for my last pair of pants. But it was just regular cotton that I used for pocketing.Quote from: Gerry on Today at 05:26:45 AMTemu is more or less Chinese crap, like Aliexpress and Wish. I don't think I'd want to wear such fabrics as the quality is poor and you don't know what chemicals and dyes they've used.Quote from: Hendrick on Today at 04:31:20 AMTry Temu?
If Misan doesn't work out, I'll try the company you linked to Hendrick. I've never used Temu but it looks similar to eBay and I don't like using places that aren't established, trusted businesses for the reasons I gave in another thread (misrepresentation of product).

Quote from: Gerry on Today at 04:41:09 AMNot quite, Robb. Point 23 remains untouched. Probably point 22 as well: sometimes a little adjustment is needed there to maintain a nice, even run of the waistband (in that photo I posted, the SS was picked up by an eighth).Ah! I thought a smiley across the whole of the back, from sideseam to sideseam.

Quote from: Robb on Today at 03:47:56 AMI think I got what you mean. I drew some rough lines on the pattern to reflect the changes. (I erased the front part lines for clearness)
The blue line is where I currently basted the waistband at. And I think what you meant for the smiley is the red line?

There's a cool translate function on the latest edition of the opera browser, so I did manage to find that.![]()
I'll wait and see what the Misan samples are like before doing anything further. If things go wrong with an order, dealing with customer services in another language can be a nightmare!
Quote from: Gerry on Today at 01:34:27 AMWe may be at cross-purposes here, Robb. What I meant was to lift some of that cloth, vertically into the waistband. About a quarter of an inch and only in the middle of the panel/pattern, effectively creating a slight 'smiley' to the waistband seam on the pattern. As mentioned before, the area immediately to the side of the CB should be left as straight as possible. If scooped there, the CB ends up being pulled into the waistband, creating a wedgie if we're not careful.
