This is a sewing tutorial to make a very comfortable pleated straight pants with a flat front waistband and an elastic waistband for the back<\/span><\/p>\n

How to sew the Pants<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Step 1\u00a0<\/span>Cut out the pattern pieces for the body of the pant<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Totally to sew the pants you need 4 pieces for the body of the pant, two waistband pieces and 1 1\/2 inch wide elastic\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To cut the front pieces of the pants<\/strong>,\u00a0 take two fabric pieces (length equaling the length of the pants you want (plus 2 inch for the hem and top edge seam allowance minus 2 inch for waistband which negates the whole thing))- width of the pieces should be equal to 1\/4 of your hip round plus 2 inch<\/span><\/p>\n

For the back pieces<\/strong> – the same length as the front pieces ; they will be a little wider – width of the pieces should be equal to 1\/4 of your hip round plus 5 inch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep the front pieces right sides together<\/strong> as you mark and cut. Same for the back pieces. This is essential to get mirrored pieces that can be sewn by the middle seam to form the front and back of the pants<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Keep<\/p>\n

If you are sewing the hem, open the seam allowance and turn down the bottom edge twice, first 1\/2 inch and then 1 inch. Press.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"open<\/p>\n

Sew in place. As you fold the hem you should ensure that the inner seams will be aligned properly at the crotch – if it does not, adjust the hem accordingly – or else you will have to unpick the seams later.<\/span><\/p>\n
