SEWING DAYS - Day 2 trouser bonanza!

[@brenholmes4894]

Your trousers look fabulous. Love the aubergine ones.

[@sosewmad]

Thank you, is it Brenda? I can't tell from your handle, not to worry if you'd rather not say 🥰

[@laurajones4088]

Both pairs of trousers look great! I always attach waistbands with the method you used. I usually add a bit of extra length to the side where the button goes which extends under the buttonhole. I think it helps to keep the zip looking flat. I also will use the “reverse” method for sewing neck binding, and cuffs on blouses. Works anywhere you’re topstitching and need to catch the fabric on the inside of the garment. Happy sewing, Cara. x

[@sosewmad]

That's a great idea! I should do that too, thank you

[@diannerogers460]

Oh Cara. You really are a tonic as my mom used to say. Love the trousers. You look great in them. Great seeing you every day. I shall miss you when you stop. See you tomorrow xxx

[@sosewmad]

Thank you Dianne I've really enjoyed hearing from you too x

[@CreativityFromBlueberryH-wo3gu]

I so enjoyed the trouser tips!

[@sosewmad]

You're welcome

[@nikkijohnson552]

Great trousers and amazingly quick sew! Method for sewing the waistband is so clever!

[@sosewmad]

Thanks so much!

[@sallydingle321]

Amazing trousers Cara 👌😍... You smash them out so well 🙏. I love how the waistband is done 👍💖🥰😘

[@sosewmad]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@sallygemmell7562]

The trousers are a good fit, and look really comfy. I like that aubergine colour - very nice. Thank you for your great videos, I feel as if we are close friends and have really enjoyed spending time with you this festive season. Thank you.

[@sosewmad]

That's so lovely it's great having you here x

[@sarahodonnell6957]

Wow love them and top tip for the waistband. 🙏💙❤️💜

[@sosewmad]

Thanks so much!

[@deborahmitchell8702]

I love your trousers! They look really good on you. I wish I had just half your sewing talent. I think I will look for a pattern without side seams like yours and love the waistband assembly. Looks so neat. Thanks so much for taking us along!

[@sosewmad]

Thank you so much!

[@helenv2906]

love the new into...much better as well as these trousers are great👏👏❣

[@sosewmad]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jennyturner6399]

Thanks for sharing Cara.💙🧶🌈🍓

[@sosewmad]

Thanks Jenny

[@eileenroth9868]

Beautiful trousers! I think I need a leopard trouser, also!😁😍

[@sosewmad]

You'd look amazing in them

[@loribarton7480]

Those pants look great on you. I love that eggplant color one. You have created “speed sewing”. Love it! All I did today was eat, snack, lay around and watch Colorado football. I LOVE football. I’m going to regroup and start sewing in January. I am having withdrawals for sure.

[@sosewmad]

Lol definitely speed sewing! Yes best to chill and come back to it fresh when you feel ready 🥰

[@ritaadler-everett5392]

The pants are a great style for you Cara. Lovely fabrics and colors, as always, and the waistband is so much easier this way. I'm finally at a point where I can deviate from pattern instructions a bit and apply finishing touches that work for me. My poor sewing machine is telling me it needs a tune up. The automatic threader has had it and I've gone long enough without my thread cutter! While it's at the Spa, I'll be getting some patterns and fabrics cut out! Enjoy a lazy. warm Sunday.

[@sosewmad]

Love the idea of a sewing machine being at the spa! Hope you have a lovely day x

[@nikkilatray4356]

Those trousers look WONFERFUL on you! 😊

[@sosewmad]

Oh thank you!

[@loribarton7480]

That seam for the waist totally makes sense now that you showed us with the pants. I’d like to try that.

[@sosewmad]

It's so simple but makes perfect sense!

[@shellyscott8275]

Ooh lovely, lovely trousers Cara, and such a great fit. Well done you, you’re looking fab 😊xx

[@sosewmad]

Thanks so much 😊

[@janfranklin2114]

The trousers look great! I have a few snack curves myself 😉. I like the method of finishing the waist band that you showed. I often do mine like that and it gives a really nice finish. You looked really smart for going out, you pack a lot into a day!

[@sosewmad]

Thank you, yup, and this is me resting! I'm crazy really 😅🥰

[@AnnFHallahan]

That pattern is fab. As ever you "nailed it "🎉🎉🎉

[@sosewmad]

Thank you so much x

[@GrandmaMo]

Inspiring once again. I think the video worked well, you do so well putting it all together.

[@sosewmad]

Thank you very much!

[@sallyharden8706]

Thank you for the waistband tip, I will definitely use that method, i have some rather 'disappointing' inside waistbands! I notided the pattern is for a button fly, How do you adapt to a zip?

[@sosewmad]

Hiya I kind of explain in one of the videos might be day 3 that you just use 2 pieces of the pattern for the zip, not 3, it's a simple adaptation just fold one piece in have to create a zip fly
