Seriously Tacky Pants Part 2

So after I made the first pair of pants, I was able to easily adjust it to make another pair.  I tried to experiment with this pair.

...And this is why I call them "seriously-tacky."  I used vinyl (and for all purposes, i consider them to be leather) to add visual interest. 

I did not do separate seams for everything.  I put the vinyl on top of the pinstripe and top stitched.  I decided to do this because I remember when I made similar pants, I had a lot of time issues.  Unfortunately, the fabrics were not cooperating with me this time either.  When I had the vinyl against the presser foot, the pinstripe would move, but the vinyl would not.  So I got this huge bunching mess.  So basically I had to go backwards.  This was not fun because the top stitching was not very appealing. The waste band was an issue, too.  Basically, i hand stitched the stitch in the ditch part.  I was okay with this because by the time I got to the waste band I was expecting this problem.  Also, this way I was able to avoid putting unnecessary holes in the vinyl. 

One of my classmates did a project with "leather," and I remembered the rule to not pin. [NOTE: You can use pins if it's only in the seam allowance, but it's better to just use clamps or paper clips.] 

POCKETS!!!

It does look good from the back!  However the stripes just add to the tackiness.  I'm still in love with them!

It is a little weird to walk in because the vinyl does not move well.  I also think that the rise is too low and might be affecting the front.  This is something to experiment with later.

Seriously tacky.  But Super fun.
