How-to Pants

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

Remember, your fabric should be wrong-side out. Start at the crotch and straight stitch all the way to the ankle. Repeat on the other side.

Before you continue, it is important that you zigzag stitch the raw edges. This will keep your pants from unraveling in the washer. It might seem trivial now, but you do not want to skip this bit.

Next, we will stitch the crotch seam.
