Did you save your measurements? I hope so because today I am going to write about how to use them to cut out some pants. To begin get some fabric that is 45'' wide and is folded in half length wise.Also you will need some chalk, a tape measure and some scissors. Fold the fabric again width wise to desired length of your pants. Add 4 to 6 inches to your waist measurements. This will also include seam allowance.Use your measurement plus 6'' to draw a strait line from the fold of the fabric to toward the salvage to your waist measurements.
Then using your crouch measurements plus 2 1/2'' for the waist casing draw a line down then curve out about 4'' to form a crouch for the pants. Then draw a slanted line from the crouch to the the bottom of the pants slanting out about 1'' for the hem. Lastly cut through all thickness remember to always slide the scissors and not lift them while cutting. See fig. 1. finally look at my picture to see how to sew a pair of simple pants. And always have Fun!
