Here is Ottobre 6/2009 - 17, they call them their "Neat Beat" pants.
I used a bottom weight knit that I got from
Chez Ami 's clearance fabric for $3.50/yard. It is not too stretchy and very stable. The pattern called for a stretchy denim or corduroy. This seemed to work just fine! The pattern is labeled slim, but I didn't add any to the normal size I cut for her, in fact, I forgot to add my seam allowance in some of the leg seams as I was cutting out! These were easy and fast and I think she likes them. I like the yoke in the front. I added topstitching in the butt seam....needed reinforcement!
They have a little bit of elastic at the back waist, forgot to get that into the picture!
I hope to be making some more of these pants, they were easy, they look nice and she likes to wear pants that are "soft" as she calls them (jeans are not soft!).

Great pants - and very cute pictures. :) It looks like she loves the pants. Jeans are my daughter's very last choice to wear, too.
Oh - and thanks for the award nomination! I'm honored. :)
Great pants. Nice to see pics of Otto 6/09 projects cropping up on blogs already. :)
I'm sure you've heard this a million times but your kids are just the cutest, love the pants they look great.
