Voge 2907 muslin

I just made a muslin for Vogue 2907. I must have made 5 versions of these pants, but Jennifer Stern Haseman is doing a pants Sew Along at Sawyer Brook, so who am I to deny free advice!? I'm always up for improving. Here she is:
I think a small crotch curve scoop is in order to take care of those folds. The back looks fine to me, but are the wrinkles under my booty due to some type of twisting? I'm quite certain I cut on grain. Plus, some of my other versions of these pants do that too.

Speaking of other versions of these pants, here are few of mine:

McCalls Fall 2011 pattern picks!

McCalls' fall patterns are up on the site, and there are some I really like! I'm sure I'll be picking these up:

6402 - I especially like the softly pleated views.


6408 - I wore this shape cardigan a lot last winter. This would be perfect if only I can find some nice sweater knits or beefy interlock.


6391 - Is it wrong I love this shape skirt so much... even though it's for little girls? I can still buy it for ideas, right? And there may but a lucky little girl acquaintance in my life.


6393 - I like all the pieces of this for my boys. This will be first on my list to hunt down.


6410 - I really like the messenger bag/briefcase!

Anything cute I overlooked?

As a sidenote, I'm on a little vacay with my parents in PA, so I won't have much to blog about for a week or two. Promise you'll wait for me!
