Trouser Jeans 3 - Done!!

They're doooone. Here's the updated review at PatternReview.com. I really like them except for the fact that the fly stitching is so close to the right welt pocket. I'll have to remember in case I want to do that again.


I decided to sew in a snap instead of using a button. The original pants had a big blue button but I coulnd't find one that didn't look dorky.


The rear double welt is actually a faux pocket. I didn't stitch it shut but I should have. I almost never put things in rear pockets.


I had to do quite a bit of a swayback/athletic butt adjustment.


I made 1.5" cuffs and hemmed them using the topstitching thread.


This is before I put in the snap, I was trying to decide what to use.
