Each pattern is for 1 leg, therefore, we need to cut out 2 pieces. Pay attention to grain and your fabric's overall pattern.

2. Sew the inseams.
With right sides together, line up notches on the inseams and pin. Notice the curved bit at the top of the pants. That is the crotch seam. That will not line up, so don't worry! We are not sewing that right now.

Sew the inseams, ensuring that you do not sew the crotch. I like to start at the very pointy part at the top and serge down the inseam.

Repeat with the second leg.
3. Sew the crotch.
Take one leg and pull it outside right. Therefore, one leg is inside out and one leg is oriented correctly.
 |
| From PJ Sew Along |
Stuff the correct leg (the one on the right in the above picture) inside the inside out leg, lining up notches. The right sides of the fabric should be facing each other.
 |

Starting at one corner, carefully sew down the crotch and then up to the other side, in a U shape.

If you choose, reinforce the crotch seam with a straight stitch alongside your serged edge. Or, if you used a sewing machine, then add a second set of stitches alongside your previous stitches.

4. Make the waistband casing.
Pull the inside leg out.
 |

Serge the top edge of the waist to prevent it from unraveling. If you do not have a serger, then you would follow the directions found by clicking here to create elastic casing with a sewing machine
 |

Fold down the finished edge by about an inch.
 |

Press with an iron and pin in place.

Sew along the serged edge all around the waist, leaving an inch or so at the end, so you can insert your elastic.
