They were quite fun to put together and it actually took me two days to finish them (instead of my usual one-day garments). The only majot problem I had was putting in the invisible zipper. I've never had any trouble with those before, so I'm not sure what happened this time.
I cut a size EU46, but I probably could have gone with 44 because I took them in about 3 cm on each side seam from the hip down. In retrospect I could have taken them in at the waist too, because they have stretched out a bit after wearing them for a day.
I also got my first try at welt pockets, although they're fake. Looks kind of neat though! :)
I used some quilting cotton for the pockets and the inside of the waistband. I also only had a green invisible zipper, but I like colour so I'm happy with that.
I put a hook and eye above the zipper. The waistband isn't exactly even at the zipper, but I'm OK with that, not a perfectionist... :)
I hope I will make some similar trousers in a happy colour, like green or pink, soon. That would be very spring-y!
They look very comfortable. I woulnd't worry about the waistband at the zipper, no one other than sewists notice those things.
ReplyDeleteThanks, that's probably something only I think of because I know about it... :)
DeleteWow they look AMAZING!!! And even though you could have made the size smaller, at least they'll be extra comfy! Your welt pockets look incredible. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is so nice! They are very comfy, but in the washing machine at the moment to see if they shrink a little. :)
DeleteI really like the shape of these trousers! Looks like you got a great fit. I agree about not going down a size for comfort factor. Oh, and all my invisible zips look like that! I'm not a perfectionist either!
