Heyhey,

I know I didnt upload the first steps of the blouse, I am missing a picture and have to wait until I home, but anyhow, here are the next steps of the pants:

this might sound weird but the easiest way is to put the zipper in first 😉 so pin and sew the seam from the inseam until the beginning of the zipper, (best overlock both front seams before)

then pin the front part the way you want it to look

looks like this from the back, one side should overlap the other. Originally pants were close right over left like blouses (the other way round then mens shirts) but today it really doesnt matter since most jeans close the “male way” left over right;)

pin the zipper like this to the side thats below the other

and sew close to the edge

pin the zipper closed again

and pin the other zipper side to the other facing (just to the facing

fold open and sew the other zipper side. Then pin and sew the extra facing part to the lower side at the seam allowance

looks like a pants zipper already

then sew that typical seam from the end of the zipper to a parallel line to the top

sew the facing part to the facing on the other side to give it an end point

just a few stitches at the end

fold the facing of the back pockets inwards, sew it, then foldthe seam allowance inwards (best with ironing) and pin it to the right lace;)

sew around close to the edge

for the front pockets you need your smaller pocket parts cut in lining (or a very thin fabric)

pin the lining right side facing each other to the pants, just the part where the pockets open

fold the pocket over

and sew in a seam close to the edge again

then fold it inwards

and place the other packet part

   sew the pocket parts together and your zipper and pockets are finished 😉

 

I hope you all had a great christmas with your friends and family 😉

keep sewing and smiling
