This was my first attempt at a Burda Style pattern. The first of many I hope!
I added some piping around the waistband and belt carriers. If I had thought of it I would have added some around the back pocket as well.
Stretchy blue fabric with white pinstripes (sorry don't have details - it was on sale!) White piping Wooden buttons Zip

Oh wow I only put this up last night and there’s so many comments – how nice! Thanks guys.
Piping is so easy! To position it correctly I just sewed it on the right side of one of the fabrics that would make up the seam. I used a zipperfoot and just machine basted it in, using my fingers to roll the cord out a little bit so I could get in nice and close.
Then I put the other fabric on to sew the seam properly and I used my nails to press down and see where the piping was so I could sew nice and close to it neatly, again with the zipper foot.
I think I am going to become a piping addict.

These are so great! I love piping. I love Rathdown Remnants too- I used to live in the same street they are in now but six months before they opened up there, I moved! :o(

Love your pants! Was it hard doing the piping? I have never done this before but would like to give it a go one day! The extra detail really makes the pants look wonderful. Great job!!
