And a great question! I used to be able to purchase the Ottobre Design Woman magazine, that comes with the pattern insert, at my local Barnes &amp; Noble. When they discontinued carrying them, I ordered them online directly from Ottobre and every.single.time. my credit card thought the purchase was fraudulent and put a hold on my card that was one big pain to remove. I&#39;ve subscribed to Burda Magazine now for years and years with no holds put on my cc, this has been the only time(s)..... so I&#39;ve had to make the decision to not purchase Ottobre anymore and am enjoying making garments from the magazines I have. If you are interested, the only way I know how to order them is through their international website here: https://www.ottobredesign.com/subscription/single.php Good Luck! They are great patterns!! Well Designed and nice fit. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-90827788973431867702018-06-02T07:49:39.973-04:002018-06-02T07:49:39.973-04:00Lisa you are an inspiration.

The comfort of elastic wins over the less than fashionableness of them. Besides no one sees my waist any more! I always wear things untucked. Love the practical linen pants; they are just right. The length is good, the look is casually neat, the leg fit is spot on. We&#39;ve got weirdly warm weather too, though not shirtsleeve weather. And we&#39;ve had the Christmas flooding, and the Spring flowers coming out. Don&#39;t know where it will end. With a horrendous cold snap I expect. Have a lovely New Year.

What&#39;s that?? :) It&#39;s very hot here and only going to get hotter. I like your new pants, they look really nice and the length looks just about right. I may never make another pair of pants or a skirt without elastic from now on. So much more comfy.

I love elastic waist pants, they are just so comfy. You made another good fabric choice. I need to look for heavier fabric for pants. I had to retire my floral ones to pj pants because they really look like pj pants haha! And they are such comfy pj pants too, so it turned out fine!<br /><br />Happy New Year and I hope the weather improves. We have been having rain everyday for all of December, so laundry drying has been a challenge. opportunityknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117079481971682582[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-85350921748616255492015-12-31T23:21:46.675-05:002015-12-31T23:21:46.675-05:00I agree with Mama Pea - don&#39;t stress about the length. And a little shorter works with the rain as well. Many pants are a little shorter now, in any case.<br /><br />Elastic waist pants are the best, aren&#39;t they - so easy to move around with.<br /><br />Good luck with your camera - your photos are gorgeous always.

I find jeans less and less comfortable to wear so am envious of the great fit you have developed on your TNT. The other thing to keep in mind about pants length is where they fall when you sit down. So often an ankle pant rides too high (for my comfort) when the legs are bent for sitting. <br /><br />Happy New Years to you too, Lisa! I&#39;ve so enjoyed your blog over the last year and look forward to what you make in 2016.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119414203044028919[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-11080832832192061392015-12-31T13:53:18.692-05:002015-12-31T13:53:18.692-05:00I know I&#39;ve said it before, but I just love your palette. You use such soft, pretty colors and they suit you to a tee.

Actually, maybe that is it.... when I&#39;m standing still they look fine, but when I&#39;m striding about, they seem a little &#39;high&#39;. Hope you&#39;re staying warm where you are! Happy New Year to you too! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872753120191298033[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-27346180300910635062015-12-31T13:24:19.680-05:002015-12-31T13:24:19.680-05:00It&#39;s great that you have a TNT pants pattern! We&#39;re having really warm &amp; wet weather in our area too. Happy New Year to you.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834328628610424153[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-43958091153491368432015-12-31T11:53:06.369-05:002015-12-31T11:53:06.369-05:00Because the &quot;style&quot; now allows one to wear pants any length, from pedal pusher to capri to cropped to ankle length, I wouldn&#39;t worry too much about the length of these new, very attractive pants. But the thing I always try to keep in mind when I want ankle length pants is that when we walk, they always look much shorter than when standing and not moving. Of course, other than having a video made, we never see ourselves walking. This bothers me especially with men&#39;s pants, whose cuffs should break on top of their shoes, but are riding two inches above their ankle bone when they are striding along.<br />(Kinda got off on a tangent there, didn&#39;t I?)<br /><br />The abnormal weather continues all over our country (and world!) it seems. <br /><br />Sending you best wishes for a contented, happy, peaceful New Year!
