So I was trying to figure out how to make a pair of trousers for ages and then a friend made a suggestion and hey it seems to work!

Difficulty level..? Not applicable, easy as rice all you need is felt, velcro and thread. I might try and make another pair with wider legs perhaps..

Thanks!

If anyone's interested, I can write instructions on how to make these, using only felt, muslin cloth and velcro.. I might just say sod it and write them anyway..

I would also be interested in instructions for making these.

Also, could you recommend a material that resembles denim? I have actual denim on hand which is no longer fit for me to wear, but it would probably be too thick for a six-inch figurine.

still working on that one! I know there is a material (can't remember what it's called) that works well, only problem is it frays..

I'm guessing it's to thick to hem properly? Could fake it, maybe, by folding the edge down and gluing it using something that doesnt crack when bent.

So far the best anti-fraying method I've found is to dip the edges in wood glue as it dries clear and is difficult to crack. This only works for that muslin (I think that's what it's called) thin, cloth because it's so light, dunno how it'd hold denim.
