Autumn / Winter 3-piece Sewalong

[Tamnymore]

Very nice @SewRuthieSews . Good choice of fabrics that work together well. And I'm all for elasticated waists!

[Celia]

Well so far I have a top and a pair of knickers that match will that count

shame it’s called a sew along or I could have added a pair of socks

@Celia , it does say in the rules that one item can be knitted!  I think you’re in!  (Not sure you’ll want to post a pic of you modelling them, though.  )

Love it but no I don’t think I will model them don’t want everyone leaving

They don't even have to 'match' @Celia. May I refer you to the post of 16th October 

I'm not sure they need to match, as such, just three things that can be worn together. If your choice is an orange leotard, a leopard print hat and a giant coatigan with llamas all over it, who's to say you're wrong

I have cut out the brown trousers for this challenge. I decided to add extra pockets and change the pockets which are on the pattern to make them larger.

I now have front zipped pockets within front pockets, and some patch pockets to sew on elsewhere - 2 at the back, and 2 more for the leg, maybe they need a flap?

Next step to get the overlocker out and threaded up so I can neaten the edges of the pockets before I get too far into construction.

Trousers are finished and I'm doing a test wear today.
Very comfortable indeed, though not sure how practical the leg pocket is going to be.

"Back in the day", I had friends that used those leg pockets for their "green".

As I did not "partake" mine were never used, I just liked how they looked.

If you take long hikes, it would be nice storage for food or TP. Could even work for long shopping days.

[SewRuthieSews]

The Hiking/Travel trousers have been finished a few days, then worn for 2 days and put through the wash and dried.

They have 8 pockets. 2 zipped front pockets, two jeans style pockets (extra deep), 2 back pockets with velcro closure and two leg pockets with button and flap closure.

Today I replaced the webbing on a Craghoppers belt with elastic to hold them up when the pockets are full.

Here's the front (actual colour)

Those look good @SewRuthieSews. You can't have too many pockets in my opinion!!

Nice details @SewRuthieSews

You beat the zip into submission, then @Ploshkin

Gosh, @Ploshkin, I did a double take when I saw your jean facing  - I used the same fabric to do my jeans the last time I made some!! Good taste
