Almost done -- Sailor Pants!

[kproche]

Today I almost finished my sailor pants, aka fall-front bell-bottomed trousers.

I have two things left to do -- hem them, and adjust the placement of the waistband buttons/buttonholes. It turns out where it looked like they should go makes the pants altogether too tight, even with the rear lacing let out.

Detail of the fall-front, buttoned closed I have to move the center waistband buttons and extend the buttonholes. It's a little too tight at the moment, even with the back laces all the way loose

Nice! Is the flash all done?

Yup. Even got it to work in the old touch-screen slate.

Now we just need to build a "picture frame" box to hold the slate .

Yay! Can't wait. Would have loved to have done a Host costume, but no time. And 2/3rd of my apartment is packed up.

Those look FANTASTIC! I can't wait to see them worn in a few weeks!

Holy crap dude! These are fantastic!

Those look good. And thanks for doing a shot with them open so that when I get the courage up to do Bruce some, I know what to expect.

Thanks!

I moved the buttons (and made another pair of buttonholes!) but they're still snug in the waist. Finally realized it's probably the fold for the eyelets in the rear inset... my smallest eyelets were actually too wide. Simple solution is to slash the inset and topstitch in an extension to it.
