I finished my first pair of Free Range Slacks. They won’t be my last. Here I am trying to figure out how to wear them with my birdie tank. I realized the top was too long for this silhouette. I cut two inches off and re-hemmed it.

Here’s how I ended up wearing them. It’s fabulous to be wearing pants without any pain. I’m planning to sew another pair in indigo linen, and a couple of cropped tops to wear with them.
Pattern is Free Range Slacks by Sew House Seven. This would be a great first slacks pattern for a beginning sewist. Fabric is a mid weight black linen from stash. There’s not enough left to make a matching top, but I get to wear my birdie tank, which makes me happy.
Awesome…..looks lovely!

These slacks look great! You’re an inspiration—I’ve been wanting to make more of my own clothes as well. I’ll be bookmarking this pattern for future sewing!

They look so comfy. I don’t know what the definition of slacks is. It’s a word my grandmother used for all trousers I thought but now I’m wondering if they were a certain style. I’m off to google slacks 😂

😄 I think I’m finally learning how to wear what I want, which is mostly based on comfort and natural fibers.

Me too, but I end up in dresses with hot dogs on them and screen print t shirts. I’ll get there.
