You will need such materials to work:

• Old leggings perfectly fit your figure.
• Material, desired length (you can use a long skirt).
• A piece of chalk.
• Tailor's scissors.
• Curly patterns.
• Safety pins.

The scenario of how to sew women's pants correctly looks simple enough:

• Spread the skirt into separate elements, remove all the threads, iron the seams. It is advisable to wash all the details. As a result, you will get a large free area for cutting.
• Next, take leggings, fold one leg in the other, stitch with pins on all seams: a step with a step seam, a side with a side seam, also around the central seam. You will get a finished pattern.
• Fold the details of the skirt inward with the front sides, then attach the largest back of leggings to the detail of the skirt. With the help of chalk, translate along the lines on the fabric the back half of the trousers. Using curly patterns, align the resulting lines.
• Attach the front part to the fabric and translate, as in the previous case. Then translate the side, step seam. Align everything with smooth lines.
• Check the accuracy of the marks made so that the front and back step seams match. The same goes for the side seams of both halves.

Important! If necessary, make changes along the lines of the hips and waist in accordance with the measurements.

• Apply allowances along the step and middle seam of 1.5 cm, on the sides 1.5-2 cm, from the bottom 1.5-3 cm, along the waistline 0.5-1 cm, for the fastener 4-5 cm.

• Since all the details have already been cut, you can start translating the lines drawn in chalk from one to another part. This can be done easily with a chisel, chalk board and tailor pins.
• Sweep the middle seam on both sides of the product. Leave a place on the front where we will then position the clasp. Mark the continuation of all lines with copy stitches. Connect on the step and side seams all parts of future trousers. Sew hard tape on top of the slice to prevent it from stretching during fitting.
• Try on the product, with the help of pins, pin the front along the line of the fastener. Remove all excess, fix them with pins. Check the waistline and length of your trousers.

Important! Move a little - if you feel discomfort somewhere, it is easy to eliminate it by adjusting the seams. Make the necessary changes, align the seams, proceed with sewing.
