Essential Pants Sew Along
Day 4
You almost have a new pair of pants for your "little". Yay! Let's get this party started.
Begin by making the casing for the elastic. Topstitch the waistband just below the top edge.
Add a second row of stitching to make a casing for the elastic. Measure down from the top edge and sew again.
Be sure to leave a small opening to insert elastic.
I am attaching belt loops to my shorts, this step is optional. Belt loop instructions are found here.
Attach the belt loops to the pants . Attach at the top and bottom of each belt loop. Be careful if you have pinned the belt loops on, don't catch the pin in your machine.
Using a Bodkin or safety pin, insert elastic into casing. Thread elastic all the way through the casing until it comes out the opposite end.
Close up the hole that was left for the elastic. And now, you are FINISHED! Congratulations! I hope your "little" enjoys the pants (capris or shorts) as much as mine does.
