I love the pintuck detail for the pleats. And with the name Bella Ciao, I can’t help having a little Hellblinki Sextet running through my head.

Thanks for your comment and the link! Yeah it is from the famous Italian partisan song. Check on youtube there are plenty of nice versions too. Another song I like is ‘Nichola and Barthes’ by Joan Baez and Enio Morricone. Keep well!

I didn’t know if this pattern would work for me, but now that I’ve seen what you did closing up those pleats and wow, great job! I think I’ll give them a try!

They look great! I’m trying to do them at the mo, but they are super big! I like the piping you did too! Well done

I agree with the others! These trousers look very well made and perfectly fitted! I like how you did the pleats. The technical drawing makes it seem like they ‘open’ a bit higher which would (I think) give a weird kind of bulge at the hip.

Phwoar! Damn impressive. I think these are my favourite of this pattern yet. Go the piping!
