Guest Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 if at all possible could you get a few more pictures of how the pocket is fitted into the slops, or a bit more detailed of an explanation I'll have to draw-up a diagram explainig (and showing) how the pockets were made...

michaelsbagley Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Bump, since someone asked me about it.... And I am working on a new pair of slops for myself at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyBarbossa Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Brilliant! Thanks for th' bump. This is helpful since I'm reworking my nephew's slops...again. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Animal Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Major bump.......making a set for FTPI this year and need to know how you did you sizing, Mr Hand. Did you make a pattern on paper first before committing to material? Major bump.......making a set for FTPI this year and need to know how you did you sizing, Mr Hand.

Guest Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The real cool thing about slops, is that the sizing isn't super critical....and the waistband is the only part you have to semi-worry about, and because it has a tie at the back, you can adjust their fit... Because the lags are gathered and sewn into the waistband, they are cut kinda large... when you make them, make the legs a little longer so you can cut then to the length you want after they are sewn. I'll draw-up a sketch showing the waistband (and how to draft it's pattern) and post it in the next few days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silas thatcher Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 i pretty much take patrick's route with the fitting of them.... i usually make a pattern out of a pair of pants, add a few inches to each side to give it some extra.... and i make the waist band fit my waist and then use the waist band as a finished length to gather the legs into... i think i made sense ?? this way it turns out a lot better than finding out afterwards that it is too small or too large...

I was looking around earlier and couldn't find what I was looking for until I found your post about making them. Did you do the "waist" sizing at the waist or the hips????

Guest Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I actually measure it at my hips.... but here is a simple diagram showing the waistband, and the next picture shows all of the parts, but labeled.... I think the first few post in this thread explain how I made them, but if you have any questions, I will try to answer them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I would like to find someone willing to make a set for me as I can no longer do it myself. Several health problems combine to make sewing too painful and I can't see worth a crap anymore. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madPete Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I could be persuaded to make a set, but I don't do pockets in them. I use the Kanniks corner pattern and handsew with linen thread. wha cha got to trade? mP Aye... Plunder Awaits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working steady at a nursing home though so I can trade "legal tender". Not even sure I will ever get to use a pair of slops, but "just-in-case" it would be nice to have some. (I just hurt all of the time and nothing is very much fun anymore). Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
