Week 3!!

In Week 3 i made trousers.
I haven't made alot of trousers before so i was nervous and i usually just do a calico sample. 
The fabric is a cotton. I didn't mind the colour but i didn't feel inspired by the choice. It cost £3pm and i used just one. The fabric was bought in green street in shop called Partap.

 
The pattern i used the leg length was longer than i thought so i i gathered the bottom hem to add more detail.
That was one of the things that went wrong. 
Next time i would alter the pattern to make the leg length shorter.
 
I also attempted to do pocket but i cut it wrong and wrong size but i was just experimenting. The top stitching was quite neat so i was happy with one of the pockets. 
I need more practice when it comes to zips. The top bit i couldn't tuck under because the fabric couldn't be pressed down. Next time i would top stitch the zip to make it stay in place.
When i presented the trousers i put the zip and the back and the pockets at the front because i felt they were too simple to present like that.

For my research file i will try a few pockets out.
