How to cut an elastic pair of pants
**Measurement Methods of How to cut an elastic pair of pants
* Waist (Dài quần): Measure from the waist to the sole of the foot, adjust to fit.
* Hip = Vm (Vòng mông): Measure the circumference at the widest part of the hip.
* Width of pant leg (Rộng ống): Choose the desired width of the pant leg.
**Fabric Calculation:**
* Fabric width: 1.2m and above
* If hip circumference < 80cm: Length of pant + back + waistband
* If hip circumference > 80cm: 2 times (Length of pant + back + waistband)
**Drawing and Cutting:** – How to cut an elastic pair of pants
Step 1: Fold the fabric.
Choose the widest part of the garment to fold the fabric: waistband or pant leg.
Waistband = 1/4 of hip circumference + 1/10 of hip circumference + 1.5 cm seam allowance
Pant leg = Width of pant leg + 1.5 cm seam allowance
Example width of pant leg is 20-30cm.
**Drawing Example:**
For someone with the following measurements:
* Waist length – Dq (Dài quần) = 100cm
* Hip circumference – Vm (Vòng mông) = 88cm
* Width of pant leg – Ro (Rộng ống) = 35cm
Fold the fabric in half. AB = waist length = 100cm.
AC = waistband = 1/4 Vm + 1/10 Vm = 28.2cm, rounded up to 31cm.
Draw the back of the garment.
AA1 = back length = 1/4 Vm + 1cm = 22.2cm, rounded up to 23cm.
Draw the waistband:
CC1 = waistband = 1/4 Vm + 1/10 Vm = 21.6cm.
C1C2 = waistband fold = 1/20 Vm = 4.5cm.
Connect A1C2.
Mark point D so that A1D = 2/3 A1C2.
Draw the curved waistband A1DC1.
Draw the side seam and waistband:
G is the midpoint of C1C2.
BB1 = width of pant leg = 35cm.
Connect G and B1. Mark point H so that GH = 1/3 GB1. Draw curved C1H.
The side seam passes through points C1, H, and B1.
**Cutting:**
AB is the folded edge of the fabric.
Leave a seam allowance of 2-3 cm for the back of the garment, depending on size.
Leave a seam allowance of 1 cm for the waistband, side seam, and waistband fold.
Leave a seam allowance of 1-2 cm for the crotch seam.
**Sewing Process:**
Fold and press the edges of the fabric.
Sew the side seams.
Attach the waistband.
Sew the back of the garment, leaving a small gap for turning it right side out.
Turn right side out and press again.
Complete and finish the product by ironing it.
