Sketches of future outfits~

A collection of photos from the last couple days - I've been working on a pair of Halsey Trousers from VikiSews in cream-coloured wool twill by Alexander McQueen. I had to make some alterations to this pattern before I could use it, namely taking 3/4 of an inch out of the waist-to-hip length to bring the waistband down [and not touch my ribs]. The reason for this alteration is that my inseam to height ratio is 49%, as opposed to the average ~46%, meaning that the 'missing' length is that between my waist and hip. I found this out the hard way when a pair of high-waisted jeans I made a couple months ago fit all wrong. Thus far I've gotten all the pieces cut out and interfaced, and I've almost completed the front slash pockets. I've been taking their construction rather slowly as I want everything [most importantly the seam binding] to be as neat as possible. Exterior - 100% Wool Twill, 282 gsm Interior - 100% Cupro Bemberg, 90 gsm Pattern - VikiSews Halsey

Whites & Blacks Spent some time last night organising the ever-growing fabric stacks and thought they looked nice arranged like this. The cream/black striped wool and black twill [right side, 5th one down] are going to be for my next set of projects. I need to alter the patterns before I can use them though, since I prefer that the trouser waistband not touch my ribs. However, it's been like -5 F here, so I must admit that motivation to actually work on anything is low.
