シャツの袖もホビット用に短めに作ったんだけど、中途半端になってしまったのと気温が30度ぐらいあるのとで、袖はまくっておきます。
年とって、O脚がひどくなっているよう。立ち姿がすっかりおばあちゃん。
Worn with my self-drafted waistcoat is a pair of Hobbit pants. Hobbits wouldn't have a zipper fly but let's call it a modern-day Hobbit pants.
The pattern is Vogue V9032. I made a View C: flat front, fitted pants. The back leg has a princess seam? that goes from waist to hem.
The pant legs were shortened by 10.5" from hem to accommodate my short legs and Hobbit's short pants.
The muslin had a huge amount of excess fabric at the back leg. Thanks to the 2-part back leg, I was able to cut off the horizontal dart at the back leg without a difficult pattern adjustment. the dart is 1" at the widest part.
I also shaved off at the hip about 1/8" both front and back.
I also ended up taking in at the waist, so next time I would just start from size 12.
After making my Ginger jeans, dress pant making feels much simpler. This one does not have a back pocket or belt loops so the construction was pretty quick.
I was so glad that I had made the Ginger jeans before this one because Ginger definitely has a better instruction and I pretty much followed the Ginger.
If this pair were a dress pants, I think it's too lose around the legs for a "fitted" silhouette but for Hobbit pants, this would do.
The fabric was a Robert Kaufman 7.5 oz stretch twill. I didn't intend to, but this whole ensemble (the waistcoat, shirt, and the pants) ended up all Robert Kaufman fabric. The fabric for the pocket is Amy Butler cotton poplin, left-over from my New Look 6184 dress. Just like Ginger jeans, the pocket bag goes all the way to the zipper so it's nice to have the "tummy stay."
