What you're going to do is with the right sides facing. You should have applied the interfacing to the piece facing the pocket. Make sure you line up the notches and the pin. Now head to your sewing machine. You're going to sew using a five-eighths inch seam allowance, okay, I went ahead and did some understitching as well, so always make sure the seam allowances are facing your pocket and then sew along the edge. I trimmed my seam allowance to a quarter inch now I want you to press this under. This is a good press and you're going to rely on the top and bottom just to keep it in place.

Okay, once it's pressed down tight, you're going to go ahead and place the yoke on top and you're going to want to line up your notches. and what you're going to do is go ahead and sew your pocket bags using a five-eighths inch seam allowance. Make sure your pants are completely out of the way once you've sewn your pocket bag. Go ahead and base on all thicknesses to keep everything in place. The front of your pants should now look like this. Go ahead and make the other front and pocket the same way. Okay, let's go ahead and start with our fly.

Go forward. and Serge the center fronts of my pants and I also went ahead and jumped around the non-notched part of my fly. What you are going to do now is first sew from front to back between our knot and our large stitch with your right hand. facing sides, place one front on top of the other, line it up in your notch and pin and then I'm going to place a pin where my point is and using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance, I'm just going to sew between these two points. between your notch and your stitch, okay, so I went ahead and stitched between those two stitches.

I also made a cut in my seam allowance right at my point, just below my point, and be careful not to go through the seam, you just want to cut. So at some point this may end up flat, so now what you're going to do is work on the left side of your pants, you're going to go ahead and pin your fly on the left front, you've got some notches there, so you must match. any notches and stitches you see starting at our point, you'll start topstitching to reinforce it and then sew up to the waist using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance.

Okay, we'll start backstitching now. I want you to trim the seam allowance to a quarter inch, okay? I went ahead and pressed my seam allowance towards the fly and I'm going to go ahead and do some understitching so close to the edge that now you're going to grab your zipper and if you follow me you know that I always use extra long zippers so I can keep my zipper group completely out of the way when I'm working and what you're going to do is put your zipper upside down and you want it to extend inside your pants up to your pants a quarter of an inch, so I'm going to take a look to make sure it's at least a quarter inch more and I'm just going to pin it in place. that in place and now on this side I'm going to sew on my zipper, okay, so I went ahead and pressed everything back and laid it flat.

I'm going to go ahead and pin it because I just want this to stay out of my way. for a minute and I'm going to open my zipper. Now I went ahead and pressed the other edge down 3/8 inch and what we're going to do now is pin it into place directly onto our zipper. so I'm placing the folded edge of my zipper tape close to the teeth of my zipper. Now go ahead and head to your sewing machine. You're just going to sew this along the edge. Now go ahead and press again and now you can.

See that your zipper is nice and flat and your left should overlap your right. Now go ahead and grab the bottom loop. Now you just got folded and Serge, but I like to clean up the bottom edge of mine, so I'll have you. fold it right side facing and I'll sew it along the bottom to close it using a 3/8 inch seam allowance, then you'll turn it right side out and bind off or bind off the long edge, okay , I was. I went ahead and finished my bottom lap. I gave it a good pressure. I opened my zipper.

Now we're going to place our bottom loop behind our right side and I'm going to pin all the layers together. I'm just lining everything up so it fits. in the exact same place it should be on the back now go back to your machine and you're just going to sew all the layers following the existing seam line that you have here okay so I've got everything pinned in position flat and I'm just going to follow the existing seam line and sew all the layers together. Okay, now that you have the bottom loop in place, I'm going to pin it out of the way and working on the right side, you're going to go ahead and sew the top. sewing following the sewing line you made or the stitches or marks.

I always like to do little stitches and I'm just going to follow that guideline to do the top seam on the front of the fly. Okay if you notice I also pinned my fly because I don't want to pull while I'm sewing so I just pinned it and I'll follow my guide. Okay, you can go ahead and remove the pins. Place the bottom of your lap nice and flat now on the back. Maybe you want to. sew through both layers just the fly and the bottom cuff just to secure them in place and then I go ahead and cut off the excess zipper now that we have the fly and pockets ready let's go ahead and attach the front to the legs rears, okay, you're going to go ahead and grab your back and with your right sides facing, we're going to go ahead and set our crotch.

I'm going to match my notch first, now pin the other front to back along the crotch the same way. way, then head to your sewing machine and sew using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance. Okay, now we're going to go ahead and sew the side seams, so I'm going to pin and you should have marked a point. We're going to put a pin because that's where we're going to stop sewing. Go ahead and pin the seam on the other side the same way you're going to start at the top. You will sew using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance. the way down, stopping and back stitching at your point, now we're going to go ahead and create our side slit, so what you're going to do is fold your pants inwards, you should have that little fold line. right in the middle you're going to go ahead and fold and I'm going to pin it to keep it out of the way and now I'm going to sew from where my seam line is using five eighths of an inch seam allowance so I got to the bottom and then I'll do the same on the other side.

I'll turn it in. Pin it out of place, starting at my seam line. I'm going to sew using five-eighths of an inch of stitching. allowance, I make my hem fold over and I'm going to sew using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance. I'm going to stop right where I have my existing seam and then I'm going to do the same thing where I'm folding in I'm going to place a pin and in this direction I'm going to start where my seam ends and now when you pull out those little corners you'll see that you have a nice Side split, simply twist the rest of the hem.

It's a good press and you can do the blind hem okay once the side seam is split we can go ahead and close the rest of our inseam so I'm going to go ahead and turn my pants to the wrong side now doing match your inseam and your notches at the center back, go ahead and pin now, go ahead, head to your sewing machine, close your inseam using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance and then try on the pants here, come on to work on our waist, so in the UH. notched edge, you're going to press up half an inch, okay, once you've pressed it, you're going to go ahead and attach it to your waist just like you see me doing here, now you're going to go ahead and We're going to sew all the way around using five eighths of an inch seam allowance.

Okay, once you have the waistband attached, go ahead and press the seams towards the waistband, we're going to go to the sewing machine and we're going to close our finish and we're also going to create the little slit on the back of the waistband. If you don't want to cut, you can skip that step, but if you do, I'll go ahead and show you how to do it. Then you should have had three little stitches like a little triangle, so you're going to start at one, sew the middle one, your old pivot, and then sew in the other direction, just cut it out. so I'm going to trim, making sure I don't go over the seams and then I'm just going to trim a little bit off the end.

Look at a small triangle. Now let's close the ends. I'm going to double down. going slightly past my seam, you can trim the excess and then turn it to the right side. You will do the other end the same way. Okay, once you have the waistband folded and pressed, make sure you turn the little corners on the back if you made the little cut and now I'm going to go ahead and pin the right side catching the bottom so I can sew on the ditch. Now let's go ahead and stitch in the ditch, okay? so I'm going to place my needle right in that seam, I want my seam to fall into that ditch.

Now give your waist one last press, okay, once your waist is sewn and you've given it a good press, that's all that's left for you. what you do is add the hook and eye and then hand sew or blind stitch using your machine the hem of your pants and you're all good, that's it.
