Well Mum you were right, in one afternoon I was able to make myself a pair of trousers from scratch. It was possibly the easiest pattern I've had to follow and with the genius help every now and then from 'the sewing book' which I will shortly be adding to the library how could anything go wrong? I bought the fabric ages ago from Abakhan in Mostyn North Wales and the pattern was a vintage vogue one that I was given by my Grandparents over the easter holidays. It doesn't have a date on it but it was from back in the day when trousers were called slacks! There will be a few minor adjustments I'll be making on my future slacks from this pattern, which again is a first for me but I'm am just so happy to have found a pattern that works well for me. Smiles all round for the slacks please ladies as they will soon be replacing my pipe leg dark jeans! Mum will be so happy!
