This was actually first time of Sewing male cloth, I only Basic on female wares alone then I thought of it. If started Giving birth will like be taking my boys cloth outs for other seamlessly to sew when am actually into this fashion of a thing. Giving it a try was not a bad ideas

Before you even think about cutting your fabric for your trouser take precise measurements you must know before you begin.

You may need to take the following measurements: * Outside leg. Using a fabric measuring tape, stretch it from the start of the waist over outside of the hip to the ankle. * Inside leg. Measure the inside of the leg. Stretch your tape from the groin to the ankle. * Hip. Measure the circumference of your hips from the widest point. * Thigh. Measure the circumference at the widest point of your thigh. * Ankle. Measure the circumference of your ankle, making sure you can get your feet through that measurement. * Groin. Measure the distance from the waist band in front (around your navel) to the waistband in back, following the line of your groin.

Accurate measurements are the foundation of well-fitting pants
