In addition to the fabric, you will need a cord for a belt and two metal punches, they are also called "zeros", they are sold in haberdashery stores.

How to sew pants?
Pants should be comfortable and spacious so as not to hamper the energetic movements of the teenager. A width of fabric of 100 or 120 cm will be quite enough for cutting. The silhouette of the trousers is straight, the waist is slightly understated, the belt is not set-in, bent. So, we lay out the fabric on the table, measure the length. Halved matter should be about 90 centimeters long. The technique of how to sew trousers has been worked out enough, and in this article we will tell you its main points. First, in the middle of the cut, draw a vertical line along the entire length. Then we mark the lower section of the trousers strictly perpendicular to the vertical line. The line of the lower cut is denoted by A and we will draw it, departing 2-3 cm from the lower edge of the matter.
You can mark out the details with special cut crayons with pointed edges. It is even better to draw lines with a bar of soap that has already become thin from consumption. So, the lower section of the trousers is marked. Now take two measurements from the future owner of the new pants. The first measure is the length from the floor to the panties (minus 6 centimeters for a loose fit) on the inside of the leg. And the second measurement, from the floor to the waist, minus 8 cm. We immediately lay both measurements up from the lower cut, and draw two horizontal lines. We denote the line from the first measurement by B, and the line from the second measure C.
Thinking about how to sew trousers, the first thing you need to decide on the seams. Our trousers will be without a side seam, so their width can be determined already at this stage. The optimal width of the bottom of the leg for such trousers is 20-22 cm. If the child wants a little flared trousers, then you can add up to 24 cm. Marking must be done by adding 2 cm on each side to the seam. Seams will need to be processed in a zigzag so that the fabric does not crumble. Learning how to sew clothes is not so difficult, you just want to.
On the horizontal line A, we lay 12 cm on both sides of the central vertical line. From the obtained points, we draw two vertical lines upward, parallel to the central, until they intersect with the horizontal lines B and C. The vertical line, which is closer to the left edge of the material, is denoted by D , and the opposite - E. Now we have a grid along which we can finish the detailing of the product. From the intersection of line D with line B, put 6 cm to the left. We call the resulting point G and connect it with a smooth bend with line B, stepping up 4 cm. And also smoothly connect the
point G with line B around the knee. The left side of the pattern is ready.
Next, we transfer the entire left side of the diagram from the central vertical line to the right, mirror. From the edge of the toe G, add another 12 cm to the right along the line B. Denote the resulting point by G2 and connect it to the intersection point of lines C and E by a smooth bend. Similarly, connect the point G2 with the line E in the knee zone. After that, according to the obtained contours, we cut out two main details of the trousers. The question of how to sew trousers is almost resolved. The fabric lay in two layers, which means that two halves of the trousers were obtained, left and right. At the next stage, you need to sweep the halves or pin with pins at all the seams and try on. If the pants are sitting well, you can scribble, insert the lace and bend the belt.
