Hi, everyone! This is Lomi, and this week I'm sharing a quick tutorial for some super
simple SID pants. Arrios needed something to wear with his kurta, so I created this
pattern for long-legged, loose fitting pants. Think pajama pants. Pajama pants actually
originated in South Asia, so that style is a good fit. As usual, the pattern's available
on my website and is free for personal use. You'll need the pattern pieces cut out in your
fabric of choice. You'll also need a piece of elastic cut to fit your doll's waist. Pin
the pants with right sides together, one front and one back. Make sure the other pair of
pieces is a mirror image. Run a straight stitch up the side of the pants. The pattern allows
one quarter of an inch seam allowance. Sew the other pair of pieces the same way, then
use a zig-zag or overlock stitch on the edges to keep them from fraying.
Unfold one of the pant legs and fold the bottom edge up about a quarter of an inch, then fold it again to
create a rolled hem. Since these are designed extra long, you can make the hem wider if
you want. Stitch the hem and then repeat the process for the other pant leg.
Pin the front crotch seam together and sew it closed. It's a more shallow curve than the back seam.
Finish those edges with a zig-zag or overlock stitch as well.
If you don't have elastic, you have
the option of adding button holes on the front here and using a drawstring instead. Zig-zag
or overlock the edge of the waist, then decide how wide you need the waistband to be to encase
your elastic.
Fold it to size, pin it in place, then sew the waist.
Put a safety pin through one end of the elastic and feed it through the waistband. I like to
pin the other end to the fabric to keep it from getting pulled in.
Once it's through, pin the elastic at the back of the waist. Pin the back seam
closed and sew it shut, making sure to backstitch over the elastic to hold it securely.
Then finish this seam with a zig-zag or overlock stitch.
Clip your threads, then fold the pants open and pin the pant legs closed.
Start at one leg cuff, backstitch to make it nice and
tight, then sew all the way up the inside of the leg and down the inside of the other
leg, backstitching at the cuff.
Finish the edge and clip your threads.
Then turn them right side out. All done! These are a great project for beginners since they're so easy
to make, and since the legs are long and the waist is fitted with elastic, the pattern
can easily be adapted to fit other dolls of a similar size. If you're more advanced or
want a more finished waistband, you can also finish the rear seam before turning down the
waistband, which will let you thread a drawstring all the way through instead of having it stitched
in place at the back. That's all for today! If you sew something with this pattern, don't
forget to share a link in the comments so I can see what you've made. And if you're
