Finished! This is now probably my favourite pattern!
I fairness, I should really have toiled these, as the fastening/opening was a bit tricky. I figured it out eventually, and it just fell together beautifully.
A couple of areas to think about though:
You need to get the sizing spot on, because, there is no adjustment on the fastening. You can't move the fastening tighter or looser, because the feature top of the trouser is meant to be symetrical.
Then trouser turn ups. StyleArc give a zigzag cutting arrangement for the cuff, but, it wasn't ideal. I'll usse my own method next time. I'll also be shortening them, as I pefer them a little shorter.
Finally, the fastening/opening arrangement. Never done anything like this, and it took me a while to figure it out, but I have to say, now that I've done it, it looks perfect. Again, there will be a few tweaks in the next pair, but on the whole it works nicely, and I won't be trying to fit a zip any time soon!
My verdict: Beautiful trousers, and I would have put some pics up, but for some reason, the pics aren't transferring...
