Roundhose: Part Deux

Got some time to work on the pants a bit more over the weekend. I started out by making sure my measurements were correct on the leg gathers and waistband. I've made pants before that I had measured not once, but twice, and still ended up screwing up the sizing. I took secondary measurements and things looked okay after a couple minor adjustments.

I then began the stitching in earnest. I did some by hand and some by machine. The machine stuff is interior and won't be visible when the pants are being worn. The hand stuff I think will be visible. I only had a little bit of time due to sick kids and other plans for the weekend, but I was able to get the lining and exterior pleats all stitched in place. I then pinned the lining and exterior together and everything surprisingly lined up well. So I'll consider that a win.

Some pictures of the lining and exterior together:




And more of a closeup of the waistband area:


Next will be the leg bands and waistband. Those I am going to try and do by hand and not have them suck like buckets of things that suck. I am going to do a button fly as opposed to a codpiece, as well, that's just how I roll.

Beer for the night: Sam Adams Summer Ale and Killian's Red. Still trying to find a few bottles of Capital Autumnal Fire for the bandings.
