Trouser 3

First of all I was inspired by the jodhpur trouser so this time I wanted to create shorts want to try something new so I did some research and collected some pictures and then I started to work on it.

Firs I take my old one Jodhpur trouser pattern and decided to make some changes in it. You can see the picture.

So from the front hipline I make the length 15cm and mark the point and I keep the hem of front almost 26cm and smooth the side seams and gave the seam allowance.

Same with the back from the hipline I keep length 15cm obviously and keep the hem line 29cm and make the smooth curve on the back and gave the seam allowances.

After that I make the waist band for the waist band I take the measurement of front and back well the measurement of the back and front was 38.3 so I count it twice like 38.3 + 38.3 = 76.6 and make the waist band pattern.

I bring the fabric our group fabric was Denim.So I bought green colour denim and first of all I press the fabric.

Then I place the pattern on the fabric and cut the patterns on fabric and got the front and back part of the trouser.

After that I stitched the back darts first of all and then I stitch the side seams on 1cm seam allowance But when I stitched the side seams I got the problem in the length of the shorts as you can see here.

Maybe cause I didn't measure from the side seam when I was making my pattern so I cut from the front which was not in my use as you can see in the picture.

And then I stitched the crotch line of my shorts.

When I was done with the crotch and side seams stitching then I started to stitch the hem line actually I wanted to show the dark colour of the fabric cause this denim was having 2 shades so I wanted to show my hem with the dark shade so I make the pattern for the hem. The Hem belt depth was 8cm same as with the waist band but for the waist band I measure the waist of my shorts and extended with the 1 cm and gave seam allowances.

When I was done with the cutting I started to stitch the Hem belt with the shorts legs as you can see in the picture.

And when I finish the shorts I asked my friend to do modelling for my shorts and she did so and it was looking so fabulous  on her as I expected to look.
