So, a couple of accompanying notes.
The diagonal wrinkles at the back/sides are caused by me slapdash-ly pinning out 1/2 inch there – those’ll go when I do it properly and I’ve got a waistband pulling the centre up. Some fabric needs taking out of the back legs on the outside seam, and, erm, ignore the wonkily pinned horizontal wedge on the back… I gave my bum more room than even it needs.
But look. Look. My first ever trouser muslin:
Do you know what this means? It means that after hours of research, and hours of thinking, and one amazing pattern… I am going to be able to make my own trousers.
Tasia, I think I love you.
Um… having read your previous post on measurements, I have to say: how come you look so skinny? Seriously!
I think your tape measure is faulty.
Or perhaps these shorts are really really flattering.
Or both!
I am impressed, Lucy – these trousers are going to be FAB!
Thank you Roo!
Do bear in mind that I am six foot tall. It’s all proportionate…
