It’s my first pants and it was a little difficult for me ( problemes with the zipper). But I m quiet happy with the result ( I can hold it at my job and nobody make fun of me! ).
Like everybody, I had some problems with the size. I made in 34 but it was too large on my leg and too short on my behind; so i had to make some alterations.

Good job, I love your fabric & buttons. Did you lower the raise a bit? Mira, good luck with this. First time I put a zipper I used this video link: http://www.taunton.com/threads/pages/tvt008.asp

Your nichola pants look great. I’m working on mine at the moment and also having troubles with the zipper – but i’m going to read the how to for mock fly fronts today. Well done, the buttons you chose work really well.
