kprocheLast night I finished fitting the basic line of the trousers for my White Star Line seaman's uniform.
This afternoon (after spending the morning at PenWAG) I essayed an attempt at my first ever fall-front on said trousers.
Much to my delight, the geometry of the pattern pieces made complete sense and it went together properly the first time!
What's left: attaching the waistband (which has been assembled to the ready-to-attach point), inserting the rear inset, adding the fasteners (buttons, buttonholes in front and eyelets in back), and then hemming the legs (which are already pressed to the right length).
I have to thank Tamara Schirrmacher, who custom-graded the pattern for me from an old pair of US Navy 13-button sailor pants she deconstructed some time ago.
Pics once the waistband and fasteners are on, which should be complete tomorrow!

Date: 2010-02-15 03:33 am (UTC)I've been working on Stephen's Snape jacket (for my father-in-law's Oscar's party). Redrafting patterns to fit the style, watching all the movies again for the few scenes with Snape (you never see his rear without the cloak on :( ).
Sleeves are now set, need shoulder pads, collar (more creative pattern work), "skirt" and the rest of the lining. And lots and lots of covered buttons.
And then McGonnagall for me.
Have fun! (it will definitely be more fun than being on call)
