RLH2515 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 So I am going to hand sew the leg pieces and the flap. Is there a guideline to where it needs to cover. I'm getting 2 yards so invade I mess up but going to attempt a paper pattern first. Any advise is welcomed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
BikerScout007 Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I think it can never hurt to make it look like the picture!
RLH2515 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Posted June 5, 2017 LoL I took that same photo last night watching ROTJ. Well I'm no tailor so fingers crossed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
Dmorja Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 If you have an old pair of jeans or longer shorts you can draw the thigh patches on it and then cut it out. This way you get a pattern that fits you. 4

RLH2515 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Posted June 6, 2017 Ok last question. when you do the suede on the thighs is visible stitching ok or does it need to be hidden. I've seen a lot of professional made suits where they put it in the inseam. Just curious if I can sew it on like a patch or if I need to sew it in all the seams. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
RLH2515 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 so I cut this pattern out for the thighs and my but flap. Looks good imo after looking at pictures for hours and drawing Lines for a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2
Chef Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Visible stitching around the outside of the patch is perfectly acceptable. It was present on the screen used scouts and there is no way to avoid that part. Up the inseam... Well, that's not so critical. It just makes patterning from the base material a little bit easier. The whole patch is sewn on in one go, around the outside. The seams that you see (along the inseams) are usually just where the individual bits of the patch have been sewn together prior to applying it to the suit. 1
RLH2515 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Posted June 7, 2017 Awesome news then I can do this ! Thank you for the reassurance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
