Very easy. The Paned Slops go together well. When done in grey, the codpiece looks much like a mouse. I actually added ears and button eyes — too cute. The combined patterns (Doublet and Slops) called for more fabric than was needed; a disturbing amount more, when using expensive fabric.

I made the Easy Breeches option from this pattern. Step One was to make your own pattern out of one the other pattern pieces. There were not particular directions other than to do it. Sadly, this is where I made my big mistake. The pattern shows you how to adjust for waist size on the breeches but, does not show you how to measure or adjust for the rise. Having never made pants before, I didn’t know how to do it and viola! Hip hugger breeches! I think this pattern is a fine set of guidelines for an experienced sewer but, it is a little on scanty size for anyone else.
