Notes
- Duck canvas didn't drape well initially. A vinegar bath helped tremendously
- Watch a video on how to do the pockets better.
- Put the extra pocket loop lower then guide and put it underneath the back pocket.
- For Hem, Iron so that the edge is curled in and no raw Edge is available
- Pant leg can be a few inches shorter
- Finish edges before assembly with a zigzag stitch at max width
- Maybe use different material for pocket lining
- Make next pair more straight cut (No leg triangle)
- When sewing remember that most of the time is spent in preparation, so no need to speed up the sewing process as that is the quicker part already
- Grain Line is parallel to selvege.
