How to sew6 steps
  1. Cut and markCut every piece with the grain arrow parallel to the selvedge. Transfer the notches and the marks with tailor's chalk or a short snip into the seam allowance.
  2. Crotch seamsSew the centre front seam up to the opening mark and the centre back seam with French or flat-felled seams, so no raw edge rubs.
  3. Front openingTurn and stitch the edges of the front opening; add one button at the top if you want it closed.
  4. Inside legSew the inside leg seam in one line from one hem through the crotch to the other.
  5. Waist casingFold the casing down and stitch, leaving a gap; thread the elastic, join its ends and close the gap.
  6. HemsTurn up the leg hems twice and stitch.
