As I said last time, I wanted to finish the trousers on Wednesday and I did I just haven't had time to post the picture. So here they are. I wore them on Friday with the ruffle scarf that I made. Daughter bought me the ball of ruffle yarn for Christmas and I whizzed it up into a scarf one evening between Christmas and New Year.
You may have noticed that the trousers have buttons and not a zip. I put a zip in (a brand new zip) and then went to try them on so I could alter the waist to fit before completing the waistband. I made the alterations required and went to fit them again to check they did fit and the zip had broken. I couldn't believe it. But it was lucky it broke then rather than when I was wearing the trousers at work! Although I did have another zip, it was exactly the same as the one that broke and I decided not to use it. I had sort of gone off the idea of having a zip. I removed the broken zip and found some jeans buttons in my stash and used those instead. It was quick and simple to add a line of buttons and button holes and I feel safer with these than the zip.
