vincentbriggs:Finished the very orange breeches this morning! They’re the first pair I’ve done completely by hand and they took 53 and a half hours. (spread out over 8 and a half days) I think I’ll go back and shorten that annoying little bit that’s sticking out below the buckle, but other than that I’m very happy with them! They fit so much better than my old pattern.I do still need to figure out how they did the fall plackets in the 18th century, because looking at the ones on extant pairs I can tell they’re put in differently (in a way that’s presumably more efficient for hand sewing than what I did) but I’m not yet sure exactly how. -- source link
