I used the same pink shorts as last time as my main pattern pieces. I love this shiny black jersey material. Really edgy and great for this project.
I also used a pair of sweat pants to use as a reference for the length of the pants. I cut around them.
I did something different at the ankles, though. I curved them in slightly. This will make the pants drape differently around the ankles. I think it looks really modern.
After cutting all the pieces out, the first step was to fold the pockets in half and stitch the bottom of them.
Then, I pinned and sewed the pockets to the top of the front pieces.
Next, I pinned pleats into the sides of the front pieces.
Then, I pinned the front and back pieces together and sewed the outer seam of each leg.
This is what the seam I just talked about looks like from the right side.
Next, I pinned and sewed the "crotchal region."
Then, I sewed the inseams together in one big, long seam.
Last step: sewing on the waist and ankle bands. Notice how the ankles curve in here, and notice that effect on the last few pictures. It's subtle, but it's a neat effect.
The End.
