I have gotten really into making trousers, since i have realized how too...
This week i wanted to take the idea of a 'crisp pair of pressed trousers' and make a beautiful pair of wide legged trousers...very Celine esque...
I used a chocolate brown taffeta that had a watermark print...
I put a concealed zip in the rear of the trousers and a waistband...
The hem i rolled over and left it deep to add some weight and substance to the leg...
I did a few mistakes...like using a different coloured thread...
This was purely due to time issues...usually i Know the importance of little details like that and how they make or break a good design....
Concealed Zips - These are something i think i am finally starting to master...I am not saying an expert, but if i take it slowly i can get a real professional finish
Hems and finishing are something i consider integral to be considered in the design of a garment...the heavier the fabric, i think the heavier the hem...unless a raw edge is wanted or whatever...
I am really happy with these trousers and think they look very stylish and have been both an experiment and helped me resolve some issues, and practice my skills further (Zip)
Next week is the final week...A culmination of all the knowledge aquired on this project...
I am going to do my best to make the best possible garment in the time frame and in my skill base.
