Simplicity 2337 - Vintage Trousers

I Thought I Was Done . . .


Until I looked behind me and saw that I didn't stitch close enough to the invisible zipper coils and ended up with a not-so-invisible zipper! LOL! Not quite the smooth look I was going for.

After fixing that, I think I've got wearable trousers. Sorry for the weirdness of the fabric - the camera does strange things to prints sometimes, and now these look like moire taffeta. I promise that they are not.

The wool drapes a little more than the twill, and the waist ended up a little bigger than I wanted, but overall, I'm pleased with the trousers and will probably wear them a lot this winter. I should make a pair in brown, too and maybe a subtle plaid.

Parting Shot: Guess Who? Yeah, you know, that big orange cat who is into everything. That's how Wellie is!

Tap, tap...it's time for the other kitties to have some air time again!

Nice pants too!

I have the same problem with photographing herringbones! I'm glad that you are happy with your trousers and can see you making several more in the future!
