is that something in your pants or are you just happy to see me.

There isn't much I like about the things I sew, but I DO think I can have nice neat handsewing.


I'm only half following the pattern instructions so the first thing I did was put in the fall front. I ended up hand sewing the lining in because it was one of those instances where a period technique just doesn't go under the machine well. I'm pretty pleased with it.





I got the inseam finished and now the outside legs are pinned so I can put it on him for a fitting. I have to say so far I'm impressed with the shape. After face-off we shall have a fitting.


ETA: OMG Rob just tried them on and they're HORRENDOUSLY dumpy in the crotch. SCADS for fabric than it needs which all wadded up to create the most hideous camel toe I've EVER seen! I pinned over 2" out of each in-seam! Luckily they're still unfinished enough that I should be able to get in there and take them in pretty easily and hope to god that helps. They're just so bow-legged. Which I know is period but the legs are too wide.
