Brown Pinstriped Pleated Pants

I started by flatlining the lining to the outer fabric of the pants.

Then moving on to the pockets, I stitched the pocket lining to the backing of the pocket and attached them to the front side seams of the pants.

For the welt pockets I thread-marked and reinforced the corners of where I would be cutting. I attached the welts and cut through the fabric and stitched them on.

After securing the welts I added the first pocket lining and attached the button loop.

I added the second pocket lining then stitched them together. Then moved on to the fly zipper.

I prepared the zipper flaps then I attached the zipper to both front panels of the pants and stitched the backing in as well.

To lay the pleats correctly I thread marked them by hand for stability between the fabrics and so I could see from both sides. I then pinned the pleats down and pressed them with steam.

After pressing the pleats, I stitched them down and added the waistband. Then I basted the hems on the legs and they were ready for the first fitting

First Fitting!

After the first fitting everything looked good so I finished the hem and added the buttons for the welt pockets
