Notes


  • Duck canvas didn't drape well initially. A vinegar bath helped tremendously
  • Watch a video on how to do the pockets better.
  • Put the extra pocket loop lower then guide and put it underneath the back pocket.
  • Pant leg can be a few inches shorter
  • Finish edges before assembly with a zigzag stitch at max width
  • Maybe use different material for pocket lining
  • Make next pair more straight cut (No leg triangle)
  • When sewing remember that most of the time is spent in preparation, so no need to speed up the sewing process as that is the quicker part already
