Wool Flint pants / Vunene Flint hlače – by Megan Nielsen

 

This is my 5th pair of Flint pants! As you can tell I LOVE this pattern. It is so cool and modern with just the right amount of details. As I made this pair in a stripe fabric I played with it to create more details but they are still subtle and do not overwhelm.

Ovo je peti par Flint hlača koje sam napravila! Kao što vidite VOLIM ovaj kroj. Tako je kul i moderan s odlično doziranom količinom detalja. Pošto sam ovaj par napravila u prugastoj tkanini napravila sam neke dodatne detalje tako da sam se poigrala s prugama.

I made a contrasting hem detail and also changed the direction of stripes at the pockets. I really like these details and the amount of fun you can have with stripes. You can tune it to your needs and go all stripe clashing or do as little as possible and let the stripes talk for themselves. I like both options depending on the pattern and fabric.
The fabric is a wool suiting I got at a local store and it is just yummy! I saw Flint pants in my head the moment I saw the fabric on the shelf. They are warm and perfect for this time of year. The fabric frayed, so I zigzagged all edges to keep it from making a total mess in my sewing corner. This is maybe the most work appropriate pair of Flints I have. I always wanted to have a pair of pants in wool suiting and these may not be my last. Sewing makes dreams come true and that is THE BEST! I have styled them here with a Named Clothing Paola turtleneck tee in grey polka dot Ponte di roma I blogged about before here.

Napravila sam kontrastni rub s drugačijim smjerom pruga. Isti detalj napravila sam i na džepovima. Jako mi se sviđaju ti detalji i koliko je zabavno igrati se s raznim opcijama koje su moguće s prugama. Možete se odlučiti za maksimalni prugasti kontrast ili napraviti samo sitne detalje, kako vam odgovara. Meni je oboje super, ovisno o kroju i tkanini.
Koristila sam vunenu tkaninu koju sam nabavila u lokalnom dućanu Svijet Tkanine. Čim sam vidjela tkaninu, u glavi mi se pojavila slika Flint hlača sa svim detaljima. Tkanina je topla i odlična za par zimskih hlača. Razmrsila se na rubovima pa sam ih sve odmah porubila s zigzag šavom da mi nebi nastao kaos i nered u sobi koji bi kasnije morala čistiti. Ovo su vjerojatno „najposlovije“ hlače koje imam. Oduvijek sam htjela imati vunene hlače i ove vjerojatno neće biti zadnje. Šivanje ispunjava snove i to je NAJBOLJE IKAD! Ovdje sam ih iskombinirala s Paola dolčevitom u sivom džersej polka dot materijalu (kroj od Named Clothing) o kojoj sam pisala ranije.

As I already wrote about these pants, I will shortly mention what I love about this pattern. They are easy to wear and are so comfortable. The wide leg is so IN right now and the fact that I can make them myself in any colour or print I want is just beyond cool. The pants have innovative closure on the side with a button and optional bow. I made all of mine with a bow. Because – bow! But I have seen other sewists making them in a sailor vibe with buttons and that looks great too. Maybe I will make sailor shorts for next summer to finally make a pair without the bow.

Pošto sam već pisala o ovom kroju, samo ću kratko spomenuti što sve volim kod njega. Hlače su jednostavne za nošene i tako su ugodne. Šire nogavice su sad u modi i činjenica da ih sama mogu napraviti u boji i uzorku koji zaželim je više nego kul. Zatvaraju se na inovativan način na strani s gumbom i mašnom (mašna po izboru). Ja sam sve svoje do sad napravila s mašnom. Jer – mašna! Ali vidjela sam puno Flint hlača koje su druge cure napravile s mornarskom vibrom bez mašne i super izgledaju. Možda bi mogla napraviti kratke mornanske hače za iduće ljeto bez mašne da imam i nešto malo drugačije.

  1. I love what you have done to these! They look so cool on you and great fabric for Autumn/Winter- I’m feeling inspired! Did you also alter the width to make the legs narrower or follow the exact cut of the pattern?

    1. Thank you so much Sarah! Yes, I make legs on all my Flint pants a bit narrower. I made my first pair as is but they were a bit too wide on me so I took them in and then altered the pattern
