Im really baffeld trying to figure out the basic construction of adult pants :( I was attempting to make the capri type pant from the New Look "Easy" pattern # 6160 but ive never made anything like this and the pattern doesnt explain anything. I cant seem to "see" how the legs come together? Please hep me~ Thanks~

I can't tell on simplicity/new look site if it's a one piece pant pattern or two piece? When you cut it out, do you have 4 pieces to sew together (not including the drawstring or other misc. pieces) or just 2?

Okay, here's how I do it. I take the right front and right back and sew the inside and outside seams. Then I do the same thing for the left side pieces. Turn one leg right side out and put it inside the other leg (which is still inside out). Sew the crotch seam. Now you'll need to do whatever it is you need to do to the waistline, hem and you're done. :)

OR... Sew the front & back together (the curved bit of the same pattern piece). Then the side seams, then the crotch.

:lol:
