Tech. Description

Chiffon Pants

When To Wear

In summer heat, on holiday and at the beach, with a tank top or a fitted blouse.
For summer evening events, with a top in the same chiffon.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Wide, straight legs that hang loose from the waist.

Length: Full length, to the floor.

Waist: Darts at the waist, pressed towards the centre. A front waistband and a back waistband, each stitched along its ends only up to a mark, so the free ends tie at the waist.

Legs: Each layer is two pieces joined by a centre seam; the side edges are not stitched together but overlocked, turned under and topstitched, and they overlap.

Finishing: Hem allowance 2.5 cm, overlocked, turned up and topstitched; the lining is hemmed separately.

Lining: Cut from the main fabric, with its own darts and centre seam; joined to the outer layer wrong sides together along the top and side edges and then handled as one layer.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. The construction is short, but two layers of chiffon have to be cut, aligned and topstitched along long edges without shifting.

Fabric Recommendations

Thin dress fabrics, chiffon.

Additional Supplies

None: the lining and waistbands are cut from the main fabric, and the trousers close with ties.

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams 1 cm, hem allowance for the main piece 2.5 cm. Attention! First of all, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need.

From main fabric:
- Pants – 2 pieces
- Back Waistband – 1 piece
- Front Waistband – 1 piece
- Lining – 2 pieces

Sewing Instructions

When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

Mark and stitch the darts on the Pants pieces. Press darts towards the center. Stitch the center seam, overlock and press.
Mark and stitch the darts on the Lining pieces. Press darts towards the center. Stitch the center seam, overlock and press. Overlock the hem allowance of the lining, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Place the Lining and the Pants wrong sides together, align and secure the upper and side edges. Then treat as a single-layer piece. Overlock the side edges, fold under and topstitch.
Overlock the hem allowance of the trousers, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
Fold the Back Waistband in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch along the short and long sides up to the mark. Turn the waistband right side out and press the ends. Attach the outer edge of the waistband to the upper edge of the trousers. Turn the inner edge of the waistband to the wrong side and topstitch into the seam of the upper edge attachment. Finish the Front Waistband in the same way.
