    Elsabe, you are so kind to teach us all the devilish details of pant drafting with the image flaws that we all have. You have given complete instructions here, very grateful.

    Thank you Elsabe ❤ how do you manage for the quite different curvature of your pants (front & back) in the hip area? Isn't it difficult to mach in sewing? Did you verify that the side seamlines have the same length for front and back?

    I had no problem with the curved seams. As you saw on my photo my pants seam was smooth. I always measure my inseam measurement when drawing my pattern and when I true my pattern I check my side seam. I think if I had more of an extreme curve it would change the length, but in this case I had no issues with the side seams.

    Thank you very much. This is very enlightening. I do have one question: With the redistributed ease, isn't the side seam of the back panel a tad longer in the hip area than the side seam of the front panel? It looks that way on the video around 29.05 and following where you show the two pattern pieces stacked on top of each other. So how do you sew it together, ease the back portion? Thank you.

    When I pinned it together it matched without having to ease it in. I actually got a smooth seam.

    Very interesting Elsabe! Just a question about the different shapes your side seams have at the low hip area, ie the back was curvier than the front, doesn't that mean the back side seam is longer than the front side seam? Did you need to ease in the back pattern to the front, or did you hand that in some other way? thanks so much :-)

    @@jasmingutherless5301 I worked straight stitch with Gutterman Maraflex which is specifically for stretch fabrics. This thread is used in bobbin and top and allows the seam to stretch. I sew my straight stitch and then another row of straight stitch 6mm in the seam allowance and then trim away excess seam allowance. It gives a lovely finish.
