Step 2

Sew the back pieces together at center back.

Step 3

Sew front and back together at the side seams.

Step 4

Sew the back loops, right sides together, with 1/4″ seam allowance. Use a loop turner to turn them right side out.

Step 6

Under stitch the lining to the seam allowance around the front, the back, and the sides.

How To Sew The Louise Wide Leg Pants Free Sewing Pattern:

*Use a 1/2″ seam allowance for all seams unless otherwise specified.

The instructions provided are designed to guide you through sewing the main fabric and the lining fabric simultaneously.

Step 1

Sew the front pant pieces together at center front.

Step 2

Sew the back pant pieces together at center back.

Note – Since the main fabric is longer than the lining to account for the waistband, the sewing process to join the main fabric and lining fabric is done differently.

Step 3

Place the front lining on top the front main fabric, wrong sides together, and sew them at the side seams with 1/4″ seam allowance.

Step 4

Place the back lining over the back main fabric, wrong sides together, then sew 1/4″ at the side seams.

Step 5

Once the main fabric and the lining are sewn at the front and the back, join them all together at the side seams and sew 1/2″ with right sides facing each other.

Step 6

Sew front and back together along the inseam.

Step 7

Fold the top of the main fabric towards the inside to create the waistband and the casing for the elastic.

Step 8

Sew along the edge of the waistband while catching the lining. Leave a 2″ opening at center back to insert the elastic.

Step 9

Use a safety pin to pass the elastic through one side of the opening and back out the other side. Sew both ends of the elastic together using a zig-zag stitch.

Step 10

Finish closing the waistband by sewing the 2″ opening along the edge.

Step 11

Finish the bottom of the pants by sewing a 1/4″ double folded hem. You can sew both layers together or hem each one individually.
