Here is my pattern:
My fabric is thin corduroy in a chocolate brown color.
Notions: Two 6" metal zippers and brown thread. I didn't buy any thread because I was convinced that I had a ton from making Andrew's coat. No, I had one spool that ran out when I was winding the bobbin. Whoops. So I did it all, including top-stitching, in black. It is unnoticeable.
Time: Maybe 2 hours, they were so fast and easy!
Cost: The zippers cost as much as the fabric, so about $15 total.
God these pictures are awful! I am going and buying a digital camera tomorrow! These pants look way better in real life!
Here are some hideous flash pictures to show off the details:
Making the waistband and the zipper plackets was interesting. You fold it all to the outside (instead of to the inside, like for jeans) and then topstitch it down. Then you sew in the zippers, since they are meant to be exposed.

I am pleased with the fit and the color. They look cute with my green jacket and were fairly warm.
Today, I passed my interview to be a sub for CPS, yay!
Also, it started snowing as I was walking back from the train! Fun day!
