Before creating my actual trousers, a toile was supposed to be down, however I didn't leave myself enough time, after not planning my time carefully and just had to go for it and make them. I managed to do a pocket toile though.

It was very stressful making the trousers, the parts that turned out the best was doing the pockets, I was very pleased with these, however doing the fly zip was not my strength! I kept forgetting how to do each part, even though I had asked my tutor several times and written it down! My trousers were made from cotton canvas also, which meant that it frayed a lot even though I overlocked it, so some parts have come apart.
When it came to finishing my trousers, I had to attach a wasitband. I didn't get chance to ask my tutor how to make one so I was recommend some tutorials on youtube.

So following these tutorials I added my waistband, however it frayed so much that some of it became unattached, so I re-sewed the waistband and overlocked the edge to prevent it from fraying.
Another problem/ unlucky situation was that the button hole machine was not working, so before the show the trousers did not have a completed fastening, so they were supposed to be pinned together, however my model was so rushed getting dressed that it was left undone, but luckily it wasn't very noticeable.
Here are my trousers:
