Wide Leg Pants Sew Along Day 2

Wide Leg Pants Sew Along Day 2

First decide if you want to add pockets to the shorts.  You can find tutorials for Patch Pockets and Inset Pockets on the Jocole blog.  You can also make Inseam Pockets according to the pattern directions.  I choose to make Patch Pockets.  Finish the pockets and place onto the back of the shorts.  Placement for the pockets is a personal choice but I like to place them at a slight angle and close to the center seam.

Line up the side seams of the front and back pieces.

Sew and finish seams.

Iron the side seams toward the back of the shorts.

Optional:  I like the finished look a double needle adds.  Topstitch the side seam with a double needle on the shorts back, right at the seam.

At this point the side seam of the shorts should look similar to the picture above.

Line up the crotch on both the front and back pieces.  Sew together at the curved crotch and serge.  

Come back tomorrow to finish up the shorts!  :)
