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. Set up for stretchUse a ballpoint or stretch needle and a narrow zigzag or the stretch stitch, or an overlocker. Seams in knit must stretch with the fabric.
  3. Inside legFold each leg right sides together and sew the inside leg seam.
  4. Crotch seamTurn one leg right side out, slip it into the other and sew the crotch seam in one curve, centre front to centre back.
  5. WaistbandJoin the waistband into a ring, fold it in half over the elastic, divide into quarters and sew it to the waist, stretching the band to fit.
  6. HemsTurn up the hems and stitch with a twin needle or a coverstitch.
