In this session, I copied the Semi Fitted Trousers Block and drafted a classic fit trousers with slant side pockets and a waist facing.
Today I focused on:
- Tracing key pattern blocks needed to create the trousers pieces
- Drafting the following pieces onto tracing paper:
- Fly
- Fly facing
- Fly guard
- Waistband facing
- Pockets (bag and facing)
- Adding seam allowance and notches
- Discussing appropriate fabrics to use
Next week I will cut out the pattern pieces and start constructing the trousers. Steps will include:
- Sewing the pockets
- Assembling the front fly and zipper
- Closing back darts and assembling trouser legs
- Sewing side seams and crotches
- Adding waistband facing
- Hemming bottoms
