Having lined the fall, set the pockets and sewn the out-seams and the in-seam, the next thing to do was to sew on the waistband.

I have cut out the pieces for my new breeches.
I started with the front panels, backing the fall front and adding the under-fall pieces.

I recently started learning Regency dance and have attended one Ball so far.
I had made some white breeches some years ago and had to adapt them a bit for my first ball.
They are, however, fashionably snug, so I judges it prudent to make a new pair in a larger size.
Having made a mock-up, I found I needed to adjust the front and, with Teddy's help, adjusted the pattern.
I added a triangular piece to the front and copied this to the mock up.I was partway through laying out, when I realised I had to create another pattern piece, as extending the front seam meant making a new fall liner pattern piece.. This is why the front panel in not in the shot above that Teddy took.
Above is the final lay out. I managed to get everything except one pocket in. Luckily, I had some more smaller pieced of this fabric that I can use for this and any other edge bindings that might be necessary.
Finally, here is aclose up showing the altered front panel and the new falls liner.
I have cut out all the pieces ( except the last pocket- still waiting for that cloth to dry!) and will post more when I have started to make it up.
Until next time
Adieu
