After the elastic casing was complete, I did the final measurements for how much elastic I would need, and then I threaded the elastic through. I sewed the edges of the elastic together thoroughly, closed the casing. This finished the waistband. The last step was finishing the leg hems which is very easy. I was starting to run out of thread by this point so I had to switch from the orange and red combo I had been using to a red and red combo. It still looked good and I thought it was kinda cool to have contrasting stitching. The orange and reds still tie in with the dinosaurs but don’t blend in with the powder blue of the background.
Once the hem line was done that was it! Project complete! And they fit my partner perfectly! Although the finished photo makes them look short, my partner is around 6ft something so they’re actually quite long! He says they are really comfortable, his only concern is that the fly doesn’t have a button to hold his junk in when he decides to not wear underwear. I told him sincerely that I didn’t see a problem with this scenario. He asked me if I would like to adjourn to the bedroom.
