How to Put Side Panels in Pants

Side seam inserts are an easy way to give a pair of pants some personality. You can cut up your old Star Wars sheets, buy a celestial pattern fabric, or patch together cloth scraps to make your panels. You can also use side panels to make a waistline bigger.

What You'll Need:

• A pair of pants or jeans
• Fabric of your choice, enough for measurements in step 4.
• Scissors
• Seam ripper optional
• Measuring tape
• Sewing machine or kit
• Iron and ironing board

Once you have gathered your materials, let's get started.
