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. GussetLay the front and the back right sides together at the crotch, the gusset on one side and its lining on the other. Sew through all four layers, then roll the pieces through and sew the lining's other edge to the front the same way so all seams end up inside.
4. Side seamsSew the side seams with the stretch stitch or the overlocker.
5. Leg openingsZigzag lingerie elastic to the wrong side of each leg opening, stretching it a little at the front and more across the back. Fold it in and topstitch with a zigzag.
6. WaistJoin the waist elastic into a ring, divide it and the waist into quarters, sew it on the same way, fold and topstitch.
