I’ve been busily working on a pants pattern for the wool contest sponsored by my favorite online sewing community, PatternReview.com, and finally have enough progress made to show you all! (Yes, all two of you who still read this blog.)

For this contest, I wanted to push myself a little bit and try my hand at a few couture techniques, so I selected Vogue 8156, a design by Claire Shaeffer, now OOP.

The pants are described as straight-legged pants (semi-fitted through the hip) having details such as a contour yoke hand sewn fly zipper and turned back cuffs. Version A uses couture construction (read: LOTS OF HAND SEWING) and version B uses front and back darts for waist shaping.

I’ll be back soon with pix of thread tracing and zipper installation!
