This project began in Birmingham, when in a bookshop, I saw this book and was immediately intrigued by a trousers pattern. They have small darts, big oblique pockets and several versions, slim or wider. I'd been looking for a pattern like this and it proved to be up to my expectations.
I bought this twill in Guthrie and Ghani's shop in Birmingham too, so this is a Brummie project through and through!
I made a big mistake during the construction, I forgot to take the seam allowance off. Then, at the first fitting, I saw they were too big and I had to take some fabric from here and there... Also, the construction of the fly was problematic, because the mark was not in the right place... and it was only afterwards I realized my mistake.
Later, I made them shorter and they were SO perfect, I know I will make them again and again.
The short trousers are fantastic for concerts, because I can put numerous things in my big side pocket (which was an addition of mine). They look great with a t-shirt and Vans.
I can't wait to make the narrower long version and I have the fabric for it.
I made them almost one year ago, but I did not have the time to post them until now.
