Sewing instructions

General steps to sew this garment. Seam allowance is 1 cm (3/8") unless stated otherwise.

Prewash and press your fabric before cutting so it will not shrink after sewing.
Print the pattern at 100%, check the test square and cut the pieces following the cutting list. Transfer notches, darts and button marks.
Sew the outseams, then the inseams of each leg.
Put one leg inside the other, right sides together, and sew the crotch seam in one go, matching the inseams.
Fold the waist into a casing, thread the elastic with a safety pin, join the elastic ends and close the opening.
Hem: double-fold to the inside, press and topstitch or blind stitch.
