Great British Sewing Bee - Week 1, challenge 1

The first challenge was to make cotton trousers and this was a pattern following challenge. Luckily I have two patterns designed for American Girl dolls in a book by Joan Hinds - 
Sew the Contemporary Wardrobe For 18-inch Dolls.  
I decided to make both following the instruction exactly and just adjusting for size.

For Saskia I made the Capri trousers. These were very simple and most similar to the trousers made on the show. For Serena I made flared trousers with a front yoke.

Saskia wears the Capri trousers. They have a side opening and elastic threaded through the waist.
Serena in the orange flares. They fit quite snugly around the waist and hips which isn't obvious in the picture. There are back darts, a waistband and front fly opening.
