....so this has gotta be my best op shop purchase EVER!...I'd never heard of Bonfit patterners before, but as soon as I saw it propped up in the craft section with the template of the pants piece on the front..I knew it was going to be good :-) So of course, I grabbed it quick, paid my $12.50 (yep! $12.50!!) and pretty much ran out of the shop to my car.... ....Yes it's good!..how have I never heard of these before?!
I'm guessing that it must have been sold originally in Aus, because the video plays fine, and has a PAL compatability sticker on it. I'm on the look ou
t for the bodice and the skirt versions now (don't suppose it will be as easy as walking into the op shop again though!) I thought I would test it out on some lounge/pj pants...I used a piece of sheeting that I had in my stash (originally going to be a quilt backing), and followed the patterner guide for palazzo pants...the result? - a perfect (and stylish ;-D) alternative to my old trackydaks :-) Love it, love it, love it!!(and the best bit is, there's no annoying paper pattern to fight with...I drew the pattern straight onto the fabric)

I have seen these advertised in books!! What a fantastic bargain and what great lounging trousers: which are all the go at the moment!!
I'm intrigued! I've never even heard of such a thing. How exactly does it work?
I googled bonfit and got some results, most of which tell me that you should have paid about $50 dollars for that pattern! It's an intriguing system and you pants look great!
Those are amazing. Tell me: how did you shorten the crotch? Did you bring it up, or did you drop the waist?
