These are continuing to come along! And getting less wild because the lining will be entirely on the inside.
The front of the pants! they’re looking good so far! Wrong side of the pants where you can see the pocket lining and start of the inner fly. After finishing the front panels, it’s time to move onto the back panels! Adding the pleats to the back panels Starting to sew the welt pocket lining – I forgot to add the pocket lining to this, so I sewed it around the edges after. Normally, the pocket lining would be attached to this rectangle too. The welt pocket lining will flip through this rectangle. These are cut through… and this is where I realized I forgot to attach the colorful pocket lining… I sewed it on in an additional step. A welt pocket! and just a peek of how the lining will look for the official garment (not as wild as they originally appeared). Dramatic sewing of an inseam!
Now I just have to sew the front and back panels together and make sure to take them in so that the fit is just right. Ideally, I will learn shortly how to modify this pattern from the start so that I don’t have to spend so much time on this part. For now, this always takes a few more adjustments and it’s much easier to take something in then add in additional panels to take it out. From there, I’ll add the waistband, final details of the fly, add buttons, and hem the pant ankles. Can I possibly finish this weekend? Maybe… I’m not in a rush though.
Oh, so sophisticated! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
