Waterproof over trousers for DH to when when out hiking in the Peak District.
The brief was a zip in each leg so the trousers could be put on without removing walking boots.
I used the Men's Thomas Track Pants from Love Notions in a single colour and unlined. I added much longer zips than the pattern indicates and put pocket slits in which I bound with faux leather.
I found the waterproof fabric difficult to sew, but with a jeans needle, lots of clips and perseverance we got there!
I waterproofed the leg seams with Aquasure, allowing time between steps for the gel to cure.
