I have sewn the leg seams of my red trousers but it is too hot and sticky to try them on now, I"ll do that later.  I need a cold drink before I put the machine away, more sewing tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, it's  a good job my winter overcoat is grey so most colours go with it and I have black, grey and cream jumpers to wear with trousers in the colder days.

I am slowly working on these and have mentioned them in the Sewing Club but didn't start a thread here, I am using McCalls 6901 which I have used many times. So now the leg seams are tacked ready for a check of the fit, my weight and body shape (tummy) have been fluctuating lately but I am sure they will be ok as there is a bit of stretch in the fabric. Lovely bright red corduroy.

Trousers cut out, they are not such a bright red as in the photo which shows a few of the pattern pieces

Good afternoon, I have put the tiered skirt aside for the  moment and am going to cut out some trousers using tried and tested McCalls 6901. I h ave found some contrasting cotton lawn for the pocket bags and waist facings, I don't like waistbands so I lower the waist slightly and make facings, I also prefer a centre back zip instead of a front fly. Better get started.

Thanks @Ohsewsimple, luckily I don't bleed for long and the tiny speck was inside the seam line.

I finished the front of the tiered skirt and almost finished the back then I pricked my finger so I stopped after I had pinned on the lower tier. It's a good job there are some little red  flowers in the pattern  :S.
I could finish it in  Wednesday's club.
Forgot to include a not very good photo, GBSB's Esme would not be impressed with the gathering.

I'll join you Lowena, I am now going to put a fresh bobbin in my machine and carry on with the tiered skirt, it looks like rain outside and quite breezy.

I really want to lose the flabby midriff  @Catllar  and I don't enjoy altering clothes.

It is finished except for the sleeve hems but.... it is rather too tight in the  bodice!  I know I have put on about half a stone over the last couple of years but as this was a new pattern to me I should have measured myself but I didn't, that'll teach me. So I'll try to slim my midriff down somehow so more exercise is required I think  :S    I can wear it but I'll have to cover up with a cardi to hide the bulgy bits 8)
