SEAM LINES AND STAMPING

If you cut the parts exactly along the drawn allowance lines, then the lines of the seams and the lower edges on the cut parts can not be transferred. For transverse marks at the height of the knees and at the marks of the entrances to the pockets, perform 5 mm notches on the allowances of the details of the cut.

POCKET BAGS

Stitch burlap pockets to the front and back halves of your trousers. Trim the side sections of the halves of the trousers and the straight sections of the burlap pockets.
Sack the sacks of each pocket to the side sections of the front and back halves of the trousers with the front side to the front side, aligning the transverse
tags (step 4). Sew burlap at a distance of 1.3 cm from the edges of the allowances along the side cuts.

LATERAL SEAMS

Loosen the burlap pockets on top of the seams of the grind, iron. Place the front halves of the trousers on the rear halves of the trousers, face to face. Chip off the side cuts above and below the entrances to the pockets (notches). Stitch side cuts at a distance of 1.5 cm, leaving open the entrances to the pockets between the transverse marks.

START POCKET BAGS

Flatten the seam allowances of each pocket. On the front half of the trousers, iron the pocket entrance and stitch it at a distance of 5 mm. Unscrew both burlap pockets on the front half of the trousers and chop. Sack the burlap, overcast seam allowances together. Sack burlap pockets to the upper section of the trousers.

STEP SEAMS

Fold one half of the trousers along with the front side inwards, chop off step sections, starting from the transverse marks at the knee height (step 4). Stitch with 1.5 cm wide allowances. Similarly, make a step seam on the other half of the trousers. Iron the seam allowances and overcast. Trim the middle sections of the halves of the trousers.

MID SEAM

Turn one half of the trousers inside out and insert the other side of the trousers with the right side facing the front side (see the figure below). Split the front and back middle sections by aligning the step seams. Stitch with allowances for seams 1.5 cm wide. Straighten the halves of the trousers again. Flatten the seam allowances from the top and the beginning of the rounding.

BELT

For sizes 42, 44 of the belt part (a), grind the face to the front with seam allowances 1 cm wide. For all sizes, grind the ends of the belt face to the front with 1 cm seam allowances. Flatten the seam allowances. Fold the belt along in half with the wrong side inwards, chop off the slices. For sizes 34–40, opposite the seam of the belt, mark the middle of the front line with stitch stitches.

STAR BELT

Pin the belt to the upper section of the trousers with the front side to the front side: for sizes 34–40 the seam of the belt is combined with the rear middle seam of the trousers, and the set cross mark with the front middle seam of the trousers. For sizes 42, 44, the seams of the belt are aligned with the side seams. Stretch the belt to the width of the trousers along the upper cut and pin it. Stitch the belt, stretching it slightly, with allowances 1 cm wide. Seam the seam allowances of the sewing seam together.

Cuffs

Suture on each cuff. To do this, fold the 38 cm length cuffs with their front sides and grind at a distance of 1 cm. Flatten the seam allowances. Fold the cuff in half along with the wrong side inward. Pin the cuff to the lower cut of the half of the trousers, slightly stretching, aligning the seam of the cuff with the step seam of the half of the trousers.
