6th MAY:
Just finished assembling the panels, it wouldn't have taken so long if I had been making a traditional jeans style but I liked the panels in this pattern. This was just going to be a practise run for when I make my reclaimed denim version of this pattern but as I have sat sewing it dawned on me that even though the print is a trifle silly I will still wear them so here we have my Bart Simpson curtain to 3/4 jeans project :D
I am not adding the patch pocket to this pair.
I used this video to show me the way to do the front pocket

almost complete just need to do waistband an hems, however I have a bit of a dilemma. The pants fit OK (need to put bigger darts in the back) but the waist is lower than I am comfortable with. I'm not sure whether to finish them as they are or make a new waistband a bit deeper than the original, I know that isn't the correct way to fix the problem but if it makes them wearable it works for me.
FINISHED!
hoping for the sun to shine tomorrow so I can wear them and hopefully get a half decent pic.
I went with making a deeper waistband but I made it too deep, I am adding 2.5cm to the original waistband on the next pair
