Alright guys, let's go ahead and do a little prep first, so grab the back of your pants and go ahead and do your back darts. You'll probably notice that I also raised the inseam towards the back of my back pants pattern. I also did the same from the front, so I kept going. and raised the front of my two front pieces. Now you're going to go ahead and make the pleats for the front, so you should have marked your lines. Working to your side seems fine, so you'll grab a line and bring it to the front. next and then I just like to pin it in place and then you'll take the next line and join it with the other line and pin it in place.

You're going to do the same thing for the other front and then what you're going to do is just stay sewing catching your pleats once you've sewn them we're going to go ahead and start with the front of the fly. I want you to hold both fronts and with the right sides facing us. We're going to lay them on top of each other and we're going to sew using five-eighths of an inch of seam allowance from the notch that you have to the big point, so make sure that you transfer that notch and the big points that you know exactly where to start and stop.

I'm going to pin my large and I'm going to pin where my notch is and I'm just going to backstitch at the top and bottom using a five-eighths inch seam. counter with the wrong side facing you, we're going to go ahead and cut the big spot on the left side of your pants, so hold them against your body just to make sure you're working on your left side, that's where you're going to be cutting and just below from my large die. I'm going to trim. I'm going to trim and stop just before sewing, so don't cut into the seams.

Okay, now go ahead and turn your pants over so you have the right side of the fabric. It's in front of you and to my right I'm going to go ahead and hold my fly so it matches your big spot. I'll also pin it to make sure it matches your notch. Now you'll go ahead and sew using five-eighths inch seam allowance, starting at the top and stopping at the point. Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and start at the top using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance and I put a pin in my blue dot because I want to remind myself exactly where to stop from the back seat to the beginning, at the end we're going to keep going. and trim our seam allowance to a quarter inch and now you're going to go ahead and sew under the stitch with your seam allowance facing towards your fly, you're going to go ahead and sew underneath, then we're going to go ahead and grab our zipper , okay, now working just on the side that has our fly, we're going to go ahead and place our straw upside down.

You're going to make sure this side of the zipper tape extends past the seam a quarter of an inch and I'm just going to pin it in place and we're going to go ahead and sew the other side of our zipper tape through the zipper. and our fly. I'm going to backstitch at the beginning and I'm just sewing right in the middle. I'm going to go ahead and open up the zipper so I can sew it around my zipper pool, okay, once you've sewn one side of the zipper tape to the fly, on the other side you're going to press 3/8 of an inch and then we'll go ahead and pin it to the other side of our zipper. so I'm going to turn this right side out and I want it to lay flat and I'm going to place the edge of my folded fabric right along the edge of my zipper tape so that it's very close to the teeth of the zipper, but not quite and I'm just going to fix it in place.

I'll do this while it's flat so it doesn't move once I know I have it in place. I can go ahead and open this up so I can move my Get the zipper out of the way and then I'll just keep doing the rest until I get to that point. Now what you're going to do is go to the sewing machine and sew along the edge, okay? I went ahead and put my zipper foot on just so I can see the edge of my fabric better and I'm just going to topstitch at the beginning and the end, once you sew the other side you can go ahead and close the zipper and you'll notice that you have the perfect amount of overlap to hide your zipper.

Now let's go ahead and work on our fly guard. I'm going to grab your fly guard, you're going to press it in half with the right sides. up, okay, so the wrong sides are facing each other and you're going to go ahead and go along the bottom and top edge, okay, I went ahead and pressed my bottom overlap and moved up the raw edges, now I'm going Go ahead and place it. underneath matching the notched edge so it covers the zipper tape and I'm going to pin on the right side and you're going to make sure it's completely level and you're going to pin and now you're going to go ahead and follow the existing seam.

They're going to sew all the thicknesses, okay guys, so we've got our shield in place, we're going to go ahead and zip it up and I'm going to pin my blouse through all the layers just to keep it in place now. I want to trim, keep the fly guard completely out of the way, okay, so this needs to be completely out of the way, so I just pull it back and pin it so I don't accidentally sew it on while I'm trying to make my blouse. sewing now you may or may not be able to see this on camera, but I have a very clear little mark where my fly is so I can go ahead and use that as a guide for my top seam, so let's go to the machine. and sew our fly, okay, so just to clarify, we're going to sew through the pants and the fly, but not the fly guard, so just make sure the fly guard is out of the way, but you're sewing through your fly, shift this to the back. to my normal foot and I'll follow my guide once I've finished the top stitching.

What I like to do is grab my fly guard and my fly and make sure I don't snag my pants. I like to sew them. together, so you'll see I attacked a little bit there, just let when you open the zipper and close the zipper, this is a little bit more secure, now what we're going to do is take the back pant and we're going to attach it at the crotch, very okay guys, we are going to work on one side, you are going to grab a back pant leg, you are going to place it with the right sides facing and we are going to attach our crotch so that forward and pin it now you are going to go to your sewing machine and you are going to sew Using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance, you'll pin the other back leg to the other front leg and sew the crotch the same way.

In the y direction with right sides, I will match the side seam notch with the pocket notch and pin the other pocket to the other front and then the other two pockets in the same way. on the right side of the back we are going to sew them using a 3/8 inch seam allowance go ahead and sew the four pockets okay guys once you have the pockets on go ahead and press the seam allowance towards his pocket. You are going to place the side seams with the right side also facing your pocket and you are going to pin, so I started pinning along the hem and working my way up.

I have pinned where my points are, so you should have marked your points correctly. This is going to be the opening for your hands, so you're going to start and stop at both points and I also went ahead and pinned along the edge of my pocket, so I pinned them together. I did it with both. sides now you're going to go to your sewing machine you're going to start sewing at the bottom of the hem okay, you're going to sew using five-eighths of an inch seam allowance along the entire side seam you're going to stop and make a backstitch in the first stitch, then you'll pick it up in the second stitch, start backstitching and then work your way to the top of your pants and sew back after you've done that.

I'm going to go ahead and sew along the edge of your pocket, closing it. You think there is a 5/8 inch seam allowance. Okay, the guys are going to backstitch at the beginning again.

What we're going to do is place our waistband on the unmatched edge of my waistband. I went ahead and pressed it up a half inch and now we're going to go ahead and attach this to our pants once you're done pinning. You're going to head over to your sewing machine and you're just going to sew using five-eighths of an inch of seam allowance starting at the front, along the back, and out to the other side. Alright guys, once you have the waist sewn together, you'll go. go ahead and press the seam up and then we'll go ahead and close the front so go ahead and press the seam up and then once you do that you'll fold the waistband in half we'll go ahead and close off the front end of our waist, okay, I'm going to go ahead and close my front, so I'm going to place my needle right along the edge of my pants, I'm going to give myself just a little bit of room and then we're going to sew all the way, topstitch the top and at the bottom, you're going to trim this and then you're going to close the other front the same way, okay guys, we're almost done, keep going. and turn this to the right side and now we're going to pin our waistband so we can sew in the ditch so what you're going to do is pin on the right side but you're going to make sure the folded edge is right after the seam line and then on the right side you're going to go ahead and pin from the right side.

You can feel that little bumpy edge, but I like to just double check. On both sides, they're going to go ahead and pin the entire waistband together like this. Alright guys, we're going to sew in the ditch, which just means that you're going to want the needle to fall right between this seam here so it's almost invisible if you have. A blind hem foot can sometimes be much easier to use if most people don't have it. I'm going to go ahead and show you with your regular presser foot. The front can be a little bulky because it reminds you. you have the zipper and extra seam allowance there, so go slow and you'll be sewing again trying to make sureMake sure the needle stays right on that seam line catching the bottom of the waistband.

You will continue to sew in the ditch until you reach the other end, okay guys, once you have the waist stitch, you can go ahead and press it in nicely. Now the only thing left to do is make the buttonhole according to the instructions you have for whatever sewing machine you have, etc. Button after making the buttonhole, the only thing left to do is finish the hem, so you'll go ahead and try on the pants and, if you need to, take them a little further in the hem to make them shorter. Depending on your personal preference then you can go ahead and do it, you can double hem or you can turn Serge under your seam allowance and hand sew it so it's blind or sew it with your machine then you're done guys I hope you do You enjoyed until next time.
