Days are becoming shorter, and the high summer temperatures of this year passed. Yes, it became October. Nevertheless, a little ride with my old bicycle was planned. The costume is nearly complete with a skirt, blouse, jacket, gaiters and hat, just fitting bloomers are missing. Hier nun eine kleine Anleitung für die Bloomers, frei nach einem Original aus dem Metropolitan Museum: http://images.metmuseum.org/CRDImages/ci/web-large/CI55.41.5b_F.jpg Die Bloomers sind im Schritt geschlossen und werden am Bund mit Knöpfen geschlossen. Am Knie befinden sich ebenfalls Knopfleisten.
Prepare button stays: Fold straps for the button stay lengthwise, right sides together. Sew along one of the short edges. Trim seam allowance, turn inside out, and press. Open the strap again and pin it to the back trouser, just with one layer, and sew. Clip seam allowance of back trousers at the end of the seam. Fold inside the loose SM, fold the button stay over the seam, and pin it to the trouser so that the edge will overlap the seam a little bit. Sew from the right side exactly along the seam.

Line up button stays and buttonhole facing and stitch together at the end of the fly. Sew the inner seams of the bloomers. Sew seam either as a flat felled seam or as a French seam.
