Sewing for your horse.

Modifying a stretch jeans pattern sounds like a pretty good way to go about it. Keep me posted if you like the result, for sure.

I can’t tell if the Rad pattern would work well for me – in the photos it looks like it might be cut for someone with a straighter figure than mine. Part of why I love the Cora pattern is that it’s cut for athletes and fits a bigger butt/thigh and smaller waist than your average pattern without having to grade across multiple sizes. I worry that to work as breeches for my build without sagging at the knees or gapping at the waist the Moto pattern would need a lot of adjustment…

This thread has made me realize that I don’t have photos of really any of my sewing projects, including many many equestrian projects. I’m a bad DIYer I guess.

If you’re curvier you might want to take a look at the Love Notions Sabrina Slims. You’d have to make some tweaks but it’s a little more shaped. I am straight up and down so the Rad is a good match for me.

Thanks! That looks like a promising starting point for my build. I got the Sir Mix-A-Lot genes from my mom’s side, so even in the days when I was a junior flyweight it was a challenge to find patterns cut in a way that could remotely handle the bubble butt without waistband gapping or a million pattern adjustments, but at least the adjustments get easier with practice. Thanks for introducing me to a couple new indie pattern designers, too!
