The pattern was pretty straight forward, EXCEPT the pocket, yokes & zipper. It took me hours trying to figure it out. I'm no expert, but the directions for this pattern were difficult.

I had a heck of a time w/ this. I ended up going to someone else's blog for the pocket tutorial & just struggled through the rest.

I didn't like the front pleat. Not slenderizing AT ALL. So, I sewed the pleat so it lay flat. I think from here on, flat front pants are the best bet. The magazine boasts this is a classic cut like Katherine Hepburn, I say this is only for the super thin & tall body types.

Burda World of Fashion Yoga Pants

These yoga pants are from the November 2007 BWOF magazine & were VERY easy to make. 3 pattern pieces sews up in no time. I made a black pair for my Mom & a dark charcoal for me. They are so comfy. The bootleg cut is very flattering. Plus, you can wear them out & not look frumpy.

My 1st Burda WOF pattern from Magazine

Made the pants in a black, thin non-stretchy fabric.

It probably took 2 hours, start to finish to make these pants. Including tracing the pattern.

Next pair I make will be in a little thicker fabric w/ stretch to it. Otherwise, the band doesn't fit quite right. Very cute & easy pattern! Will post pix soon.
