Pants! Two Pairs, One Steampunk, one Goth
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2014 7:05 pmI made pants~! It took me forever to figure out the pockets. I've had the pattern for ages, but I altered it to a) accommodate the pockets, and b) be long enough to bunch around the ankles. In the case of the black ones, I also made the pant legs much wider to be able to go over the tops of boots. Please excuse the nekkid blue body in the foreground. Oracle will be shipping out to her new home as soon as I finish the final layers of sealant on her.
These fit Zephyr rather snugly. I'm so pleased they fit properly. I'll be making a white poet-style shirt and a vest that matches the ribbon accents to go with it, and I'm hunting for some boots.
The button is a scrapbooking brad. The filigree pieces holding up the chains are bits cut from beading caps. I'm kinda pissed the brown thread and the burgundy thread cross each other, but I can live with it.
The studs and the door-knocker lookin' thing are more scrapbooking brads. The brown and gold ribbon is actually a strip of brocade fabric folded into thirds and ironed flat before being sewn down.
Working pockets!
I'm also a little annoyed that the darts in the back aren't perfectly even but another thing I can live with.
This pair also has working pockets, and these are the ones I made with a wider leg. I was aiming to make something like Tripp pants. I think I succeeded? Maybe?
More scrapbooking brads, and the silver loops holding up the straps are the round part of a pair of toggle clasps. Satin ribbon details
The silver loop here is just a jump ring through a ribbon loop. I wanted to use D-Rings but I didn't have any small enough.
More satin ribbon details. Cut the three strips and fray-checked em. The wider ribbon is just that, a wider ribbon.
Close-up of another of the scrapbooking buttons. The ribbon belt loops were sewn deliberately to have enough space to hold the chains and straps.

The jacket is an SD size with the sleeves rolled up but it looks so cute on him.
