Tweed trousers in ONE day – sewing proper pants fast

By letter2self on November 29, 2022



Two weeks ago I tought I needed a new pair of proper trousers and spend one day to make some out of a nice tweed I found online. I compressing the 9 hours of sewing these pants into a 9 minute video.

My favorite eBay shops for wool (affiliate links!):

I used the cotton coutil I had left from my corset project for the interfacing of the waistband, brown cotton for the lining of the fly, and tartan cotton for the pockets.
