Trunk Hose Patterning
I started patterning the trunk hose. I tried following one of the patterns in Patterns of Fashion, but it really just wasn't fitting right. I got the pattern for the canions fitting great; they're nice and snug and don't shift or gap when I bend my knee. Now I just have to build the rest of the foundation so they stay up when I'm standing and still let me sit down. I had intended to cut the canions on the bias to give more stretch, but I forgot about it when I started cutting. Fortunately, they seem to work just fine on the straight. I may cut a slit in the side and install hooks and eyes to make it a little easier to get in and out. I may use the pattern for the pluderhosen foundation if I can't get anything else to work, but hopefully I'll be able to work something out.
