Trousers update

The trousers are so close to being ready to try on, I can taste it. I started the fly zip last night after I got back from the gym. I stitched up the crotch seam then sewed the zip to the left hand-underlap. Of course, my zip's too short, and I'm buggered if I'm going to get another one. So I pinned the two sides together and sewed the seam further up. Opened out the pants and of course I'd caught the zip in the seam so it showed on the right side. Id. I. Ot.

That was the point that my voice of reason (bless it) spoke up and told me to stop sewing. I listened to it, which was very wise.

Tonight though, I will be sewing again, and I hope to get the trousers to a state where they're ready to be tried on. Thrilling.
