Just finished my FreeSewing Crux Climbing pants. I first made a muslin, a first for me, just to see where the problem areas were and to reduce the amount of mistakes on the fancy pink fabric.

I also tried dying the muslin using saved avocado pits and shells, which worked out pretty well. I also tried out some of my Bernina 930's decorative stitches on the muslin. I figured just the topstitching was fancy enough for the pink denim.

Both feature these nice articulated knees and a gusset, a very interesting part of these. The fly of the muslin isn't perfect on the inside, but that's on the inside so 🤷

Ooh, no zippers, snaps, or buttons?? I have a lot of leggings, which are suitable for climbing (bouldering, really), but pockets are always excellent, the more the better. Very nicely done!

@EllenInEdmonton @bammerlaan@pixey.org @sewing @freesewing Thank you! Yes zippers and buttons, actually—I'll take some pictures of those details when I get back home. They weren't actually all that hard to put in, I found! That is, I was surprised by how well they went.

@EllenInEdmonton @bammerlaan@pixey.org @sewing @freesewing Here's some detail shots of the fly in both pants. With the muslin, I made the mistake of not extending the waistband over the zipper guard (left on the photo). Invisible when you close the pants, but still something I improved with the final product. I also sewed a bit closer to the zipper with the pink pants.

These look great! Do you happen to have a pattern? I’ve been looking to make some new pants out of some denim I have.

@pomegranatefern @bammerlaan@pixey.org Boy are you in for a treat when you check out https://freesewing.eu, then! There's free bespoke patterns for a whole bunch of stuff there, including these climbing pants (called Crux), chinos, shorts and possibly some other pants situations I forgot about. I also made a bunch of their other patterns, like the Devon jeans jacket: https://pixey.org/p/bammerlaan/955810549800816607 and https://mastodon.nl/@bammerlaan/116573700153998469 #FreeSewing
