Seriously Tacky Pants Part 1

Last year, sometime mid August, I promised myself that I would make a pair of pants from scratch by the end of January.

What can I say!  I made pants!  AND I made my deadline. I know I'm posting this February, but I finished January 16.  I just haven't had the incentive to post up pictures.  The reason I'm doing that now is because I really need to post the pictures up, and I have some other project coming up that I want to talk about.

My friend calls these "swishy-pants." He's almost right except for the fact that they're not swishy from the waist.  The reason why they're so thick is because I did not take in the inseam.  This was because I went straight from the pencil skirt pattern to pants without really caring about the shape on the inside. 

Here's the skirt pattern, They are in my measurements, and yes I did make the skirt.  I look good in the skirt, too, but I'm not willing to go drag online. Soo.....

Anyway, This pattern has two darts in the back.  I wasn't a fan of that because it's a lot of work so I simplified it to one dart.  And then I made the pants based on that skirt pattern.

See?  All I really needed to do is add the crotch extension.  You can also see the lines where I should have brought the lines in.  Super simple.

Yep, way too much fabric.

With a belt.  Just to prove that there can be a belt.

Croquis form?

This reminded me of Combusken, so I had to add it. (Combusken is a Pokemon, for those who do not know)
