It was time to make another pair!
I found this useful tutorial that helped me draft a slanted pocket and then I found this great fat quarter in my stash for the pocket bags as I didn't want the extra bulk of 3 layers of fleece on my thighs.
To stop the pockets from bagging I used some cotton twill tape along the edge of the pocket when I attached them to the front pant piece.

I bet those nice warm pants have been in high rotation. I has been bitter hasn't it. Love this version with its sweet pockets. Nice colour too.
Love the color, seeing a lot of it in the September fashion magazines.
A good idea to use a lighter weight woven inside the fleecy - I tend to do that as well. Also, it just adds a little something to the garment, that doesn't say Tracky Dags. The pockets smarten the pants up so nicely.
Great colour & pockets! It's definitely brisk enough to need track pants
Perfect with pockets! Having seen your first cosy pair and now looking out the window at our very grey wet cold windy weather these will be a fab addition for early morning walks and keeping your hands warm too.
Brilliant idea! These will also get a lot of wear as I think there are a few more cold and wet days still to come ... J
Pretty details are so worth the effort.
Love those pocket linings :-)
The colour of these looks great with the charcoal grey top. Now I've conquered my knit fears, I really must put my mind to sewing some gym stuff :-)
Is that a Border Collie? Sorry, I think you were showing something you've sewn, but the dog totally distracted me.
Love a contrast fabric. Thanks for the tutorial link, my kids are wanting pockets in their trackies next winter - i was wondering how long i would get away without putting any in!
