Sewing Instructions

Stitch the inseam and side seams, placing the front and back pieces right sides together. Press seam allowances open.
Place the pant halves right sides together. Stitch the center seam, leaving an unstitched section at the back above the fold line of the integrated facing for threading elastic.
Press the integrated facing to the wrong side, fold under the seam allowance, and topstitch 0.1 cm from the fold. Stitch along the marked line and thread elastic, equal to the waist circumference, through the created casing.
Stitch the flounces into rings, gather to the length of the lower edges, and attach to the lower edges of the pantaloons. Overlock the lower edge of the flounce, press to the wrong side, and topstitch. Place the lace trim under the lower edge of the flounce and stitch.
