First toile


So I spent most of the morning flat pattern cutting my trousers, but Sian suggested it would be much easier to mock up the basic trouser and draw the design lines on. So after about 3 hours i finally got somewhere!

On the front I'm going to have a turn down which will square off to the hip where there will be pleats. I could potentially turn this into a pocket, but I want to get the basic shape right before i start faffing around with fiddly bits like that.

I draped the waistband to get a nice shape and to achieve the correct proportions. I'm not completely convinced the proportions worked but this is the best I can get for now.



More draping of the waistband, trying to get the shaping right.


My worst nightmare...tracing off patterns!
