Here's the high-waisted trousers I have made to go with a couple of lovely cropped blouses I have.
What I learned from making these trousers: I still love French seams; I still hate zips; darts were a truly wonderful invention; always have a scrap of the same fabric when ironing to see how high you can push the heat without scalding the fabric (thankfully I did just this); open a window when using lots of steam.
Got another pic and infor on the reconstructed vintage blouse I'm wearing over.................here. See you later x
