Sewing instructions

General steps to sew this garment. Seam allowance is 1 cm (3/8") unless stated otherwise.

Prewash and press your fabric before cutting so it will not shrink after sewing.
Print the pattern at 100%, check the test square and cut the pieces following the cutting list. Transfer notches, darts and button marks.
Make the front pockets: facing and pocket bag, topstitch the opening and baste at the side.
Install the zip fly: fly facing, fly shield and J-stitch.
Sew the outseams, then the inseams of each leg.
Put one leg inside the other, right sides together, and sew the crotch seam in one go, matching the inseams.
Interface the waistband, sew it to the waist, fold it to the inside and finish by hand or by stitching in the ditch.
Attach the leg bands below the knee with a button or buckle.
