The World's Best Trousers
Oh yes oh yes, I have created the worlds best trousers (suddenly Im thinking Blackadder), all the stuff I wrote in my previous post was balls BTW.
I had to make new pattern pieces, this time I turned my trousers inside out and put one leg inside the other, then flatterned them out and used the seam as a guide.
I drew around the front and the back so I had two different pieces. I then added the seam allowance. I then pinned this to my material and cut around.
I sew up the legs, then turned one leg the right way around and put it inside the other. I sewed up the back but left the front open to allow for a zip.
I have also added some folded material (which I probs should have augmented with bonding or something that makes things stiffer) to the waist.
Im not sure what to do with the cuffs as if I turn them up the trouser (which are already cropped as I didnt have enough material) will be very short. But I dont have a nice piece of material I can use to add cuffs, its just a lot of scraps.
Well Ill keep you posted, I know how my fans need to know these things.
