Hosen

[janestarz]

Everyone is aflutter with the Limbricht Brothers festival here at the Open Air Museum and this is why I was told to get to work on some hosen. I'm finally getting some time on this ancient Pfaff, which has a model number with only three digits. It's probably an antique and it can sure use a good piece of maintenance.

Hosen were actually something I wanted to try my hand at at home, but after staring at four different patterns I freaked at the mere math concerned to make my hips fit. (It's not at all weird I have four different patterns for a pair of medieval stockings, is it?)
But now I have the sole figured out, I'm sure I can manage.

The sole in this picture is not one I made, mine are not nearly this neat yet. It's the example pair I'm stealing the pattern from.
Too bad this is not my atelier, I can't find any sewing supplies but I'd rather leave Janeth downstairs...

AFAIK, women's hose only came up to just over the knee. Between the skirts and the shift, you're generally pretty cosy already.
