What's up?
Remember that I said in the previous progress post that I will work on the pants the next day? Well...
 |
| I lied! |
No worries, I did start working on the pants yesterday and continued today until I was done with them. I started to sew the pants today after that I was done with some computer stuff. But first, let's look at yesterday's progress:
 |
| Sewing the front seams together. |
 |
| Front seams done on both sides. |
 |
| Starting to sew the side seams. |
 |
| Side seams done. |
 |
| I will sew the inside seams all around, so I put them together with needles. |
 |
| Pants done, now it's only the waistband left. |
The progress went well -and I had to think on my own- but I was quite tired so I quit the progress during 20:00-21:00 and did other stuff. I had to sew quite slowly with the overlock machine because it makes those not-so-fun noises. Today I finished what I left yesterday and here's the progress:
 |
| Waistband cut out, I did this the same day when I cut out the pants but I forgot about it. |
 |
| One seam done, it's supposed to look like a tube. |
 |
| Folded over and both seams sewed. |
 |
| Waistband put in place. |
 |
| Sewing waistband in place. |
 |
| Wait... it wasn't supposed to look like that! FFFFUUUU - |
*sigh*
I guess there is not much more to do than to separate the waistband from the pants and start all over again. Oh and I need to cut out a new and better waistband piece too.
 |
| Waistband separated from pants with scissors. |
 |
| I cut "not-so-straight" so I have to mark with a pen and cut them again. |
 |
| I accidentally cut on the waistband. Oh well, it sucked anyway. |
Moving on to...
Re-doing Progress:
 |
| Placed the waistband pattern on fabric and cut it out. Make sure it stretches to the right direction! |
 |
| Cut out, not bad or good... |
 |
| Sewed the seam it had and folded over. |
 |
| Placed on pants. Curses if it isn't right this time! |
 |
| Sewing the waistband in place. It looks correct now. |
 |
| Good job boy, way to go! |
I had to take in some fabric on the left side because there was too much of it (pant fabric). I picked the left side as the seam won't be visible when my belt and sword will be there to cover it.
 |
| Now it's only to sew the pants "foot hems" or whatever they are called... |
 |
| Le pantalon done! Yeah! |
The re-doing wasn't all that bad in the end because my first waistband had more seams than needed and it had more wrinkles too... bleh. So I'm actually kinda glad that I screwed that one up, ahahah! Next up is the collar and then I'm done!
Really nice work on those pants - they look fantastic! If failed the first time, the second time's the charm. :) Good luck on the collar!
