I really like seeing the inside of projects as well as the outside and you do a marvelous job inside and out. I once had a dressmaker/tailor instructor say the inside of a garment should look as pretty as the outside. So true. Good job with every aspect of your pants.<br />SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-52823701832586402142017-06-20T00:27:37.098-04:002017-06-20T00:27:37.098-04:00Fantastic trousers Peter!Fantastic trousers Peter!Spikeabellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526666426161958415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-89425630602905727452017-06-12T16:08:57.287-04:002017-06-12T16:08:57.287-04:00Great fit!

And I wasn't clear: I definitely pre-washed my linen, but in my experience, even with prewashing, the final garment will shrink a bit, especially in length. I too thought it might be intended for upholstery -- it's that weight. It's softer than home dec linen I've seen, however.Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-15481742728423742402017-06-07T08:13:37.122-04:002017-06-07T08:13:37.122-04:00These are brilliant!These are brilliant!marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-84017662840014275142017-06-07T07:40:09.330-04:002017-06-07T07:40:09.330-04:00Great pants, love the fabric.

Brave not to wash thoroughly before sewing. Especially linen. Could this have been meant for upholstery, or have we tossed all those silly old categories?
