Sewing Shorts/Pants, Cont'd |
As you noticed, the crotch seam on a pair of pants/shorts forms a "U". I have sewn a pair of shorts with some contrasting fabric to help you visualize how to sew the crotch seam better. Once you have sewn two separate legs of the pair of pants or shorts, you will then turn one leg so that the Wrong side of the fabric is showing, and the other leg will be turned so that the Right side of the fabric is showing. You will insert one pants/shorts leg into the other one, right sides of fabric together. The crotch seam will form a curve, much like the letter"U". One leg of the pants or shorts will be turned right side out, and the other leg will be turned wrong side out. Insert the right side out leg into the wrong side out leg; this is putting the right sides of the fabric together. |
This may look a little funny, but the pink fabric is Wrong side out, and the leg that has been sewn in two different fabrics is Right side out. Insert one leg into the other, and then sew the crotch seam, just like you would sew any other seam. It's not even too hard to sew the inner curve of the crotch seam if you watch the edge of the fabric and not the needle. |
Match the inside leg seams and then pin the crotch seam, as shown here. |
Start at the end of the seam and sew, sewing slowly around the curve of the crotch seam. |
