THE Q & A SERIES - PIPING AND THE DARLOW PANTS PATTERN
Hi Emily
I am thinking of purchasing the Darlow Pants pattern. I was curios to know how the outlining on the pants is achieved. Is it bias tape used in the seams to create the borderlines? I did not mention it in the notions. I would like to know before I purchase.
Thanks you,

Hi Heather,
Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in the Darlow pants pattern!
The lines shown on the sample photographs have actually been illustrated on. The panel lines are they key feature of these pants, so I wanted to be sure that customers could see them in the photographs (and I was a bit silly when I chose to sew the samples in black and off white!).
I have seen some customers use piping though to highlight the panel lines - so that could be an option. You can see an example of that here.
The other option would be topstitching along the panel lines to highlight them. An example of this can be seen here.
I hope that helps you decide if this pattern will be a good fit for you!
Let me know if there is anything else I can assist with.
Talk soon,
Emily
