#pants 2

Gave the pocket a lining to protect my embroidery and because it looks cool

Started with folding the top seam and sewing that together

Went on to put the other seams in place first cutting out some parts to get the layers to be fewer

Then making sure the seams were the right size

And then pinned them to the pantleg fabric as can be seen in the top pictures

First sewed the front and back together with the back having about .75 cm seam allowance and the front about 2 cm seam allowance, both sides were having their outside sides facing each other, this is the seam that will be on the inside of the leg

I forgot this step the first time, but check for long threads from the edges of the fabric that was possibly sewn as well, at this point their still easy to cut of and remove. Then I folded the bigger piece of seam allowance around the smaller piece and sewed that together

Then tidied the rough edges a bit by cutting, to prevent long pieces of thread to come out of the seam pocket I'm creating. After this I turned the fabric around and sewed the seam to the back part of the pants, meaning what is shown of the seam above is folded over to the left and sewn to the rest of the fabric. This encapsulates all the loose ends of the fabric. This seam finish is known as a flat felled seam

Cut out most (the back pockets will be embroidered first)(and another part is not clear how big it needs to be yet) of the parts for it yesterday.

Today I made a start at the actual sewing, starting with the front pockets. The part that goes against my leg is now done. Will hopefully finish the rest of the front pockets tomorrow.

I really recommend you don't do this like I did.

Getting these parts to align was a struggle and one of my own making. I could have prevented myself from having to do the seams like this.

The end result (which nobody will see when the pants are finished) is great though.
