Mockup Mayhem Vlog: 1940's Pants
This is by far the easiest pattern I've followed in this project so far - and the fastest! It's crazy how quickly pants come together compared to blouses. Though I probably prefer making blouses (less crotch talk).
This was my second time attempting pants for this period, and luckily it was more successful than my first! I was pretty happy with this mockup, and the finished pants.
Also - the trip I'm referencing in this video is the trip I took to Lancaster. This was filmed a while back.
And I DID end up using a cropped version of this pattern for the denim shorts I showed in my vlogs from the trip! I filmed bits and pieces of making them that I'll try to cobble together into something watchable.

I’m not very good at sewing pants myself, and yes the crotch always gets me. Nice job!
I just heard you mention a request for any ideas for softening a fabric. I have a top loading washer, so I require far more of the liquid, between 1 - 2 litres. However, a side loader would only need a can or 2 of Coke Cola. No lie. Straight up. Ever watch a chunk of meat dissolve in a beaker of coke cola? lol Well, I tried this method to soften about 4+ yards of fairly stiff denim/jean material and it really worked! It shouldn't stain your fabric, either.....(Peggy Sagers is forever recommending this method on her YoutTube channel, too).
