The Challenge: #23, Modern History
Fabric: Lightweight wool suiting in a green Glen plaid
Pattern: Wearing History's Smooth Sailing Trousers
Year: 1930's
Notions: Thread, buttons
How historically accurate is it? Good, I guess.
Hours to complete: The prep took an afternoon, and the sewing another afternoon. Very quick.
First worn: Last weekend, for a Christmas party
Total cost: I think I got the wool on sale for about $7/yd. And it took about 3 yards, I think.

Well first off, Merry Christmas to all! I hope everyone has been having a lovely holiday season.
Over here it's been pretty busy, but I still found a couple afternoons to whip up a new pair of 1930's trousers. I so love the Wearing History pattern! It goes together so nicely and quickly and just makes a really good looking pair of pants.
For this pair, I used some lightweight plaid wool. I deviated from the pattern by adding a lapped, side closure with buttons instead of a zip. Next pair, I want to add some pockets!
And they're comfy enough for playing with the pups, too!
Those are lovely! The fit is perfect! This is now a new pattern on my most wanted list. And I love the buttons instead of the zipper. Very nicely done :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely would put these on the to do list. They're great. And, thank you!
DeleteThose are wonderful! And much nicer than anything you can find in the store :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yep, not being able to find neat trousers like this to buy was a main motivation for sewing them.
DeleteThe button placket is so much more historically accurate than the zip, right? What a perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about the buttons vs zip for authenticity. I did a zip on a pair of sporty, linen pants, but for wool trousers, I thought buttons would be a little dressier. And thanks about the fit :)
DeleteYay, 1930's pants ROCK! I definitely need a pair of these!
ReplyDeleteWow! They look great! Definitely something I would wear if I had a pair.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tom cam!!! i am very grateful sharing this great testimonies with you all, The best thing that has ever happened in my life, is how i worn the Powerball lottery. I do believe that someday i will win the Powerball lottery. finally my dreams came through when i contacted Dr. OSE and tell him i needed the lottery winning special numbers cause i have come a long way spending money on ticket just to make sure i win. But i never knew that winning was so easy with the help of Dr. OSE, until the day i meant the spell caster testimony online, which a lot of people has talked about that he is very powerful and has great powers in casting lottery spell, so i decided to give it a try. I emailed Dr. OSE and he did a spell and gave me the winning lottery special numbers 62, and co-incidentally I have be playing this same number for the past 23years without any winning, But believe me when I play the special number 62 this time and the draws were out i was the mega winner because the special 62 matched all five white-ball numbers as well as the Powerball, in the April 4 drawing to win the $70 million jackpot prize...… Dr. OSE, truly you are the best, with Dr. OSE you can will millions of money through lottery. i am a living testimony and so very happy i meant him, and i will forever be grateful to him...… you can Email him for your own winning special lottery numbers now oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATSAPP him +2348136482342
