The Victory Trousers (April Make!)

Hello, and sorry I've not been posting. I have been away (within the UK) quite a bit, and squished some sewing in, but not shared here.

I have also been working on things for an Advent Swap with my sewing friend RealAle but can't share those until after she has opened them in December!

So I will do a couple of posts to catch up with what I can share.

Today I'll share the Victory Trousers from The Weekend Sewing Club by My Handmade Wardrobe.

This was the Pattern for April 2026, and I did make them during that month

For my version I did a full tummy, full butt and low butt alteration. They sewed up well, but I keep trying to put my hands in the buttoned openings thinking they are pockets!

I tend to wear my tops out, so the button detail is rather obscured. So I am a bit on the fence about these ones. 

Any ideas how I could add some pockets at the front/side to make them more wearable? 

I suppose I could open up the side seams and add in some simple side pockets. I have got a bit of the navy cotton twill left that I used to make them
