To sew these pants, choose knit fabrics with the following properties:
− soft, breathable, medium-stretch (stretch factor 1.3–1.5), medium-weight
− the fiber content should include elastane or spandex and can also include natural fibers, artificial fibers, blends, and synthetics.
Recommended fabrics: knits, rib knits, soft double knits.
Attention! We recommend using only stretchy fabrics for these pants.
You can determine the stretch factor of the fabric yourself. Mark 10 cm (4") along the crosswise grain of the fabric, lay a ruler next to the marked section, and stretch the fabric. Divide the measurement you get by 10.
The pants in the photos are made of soft double knits. The fabric is medium weight, soft, and stretchy. The fiber content is 85% viscose, 11% nylon, and 4% elastane. The fabric weight is 150 g/m2.

3. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker)
- sewing machine for construction
- overlocker for construction and finishing raw edges. This may be replaced with a stretch overlock stitch or a zigzag stitch on the sewing machine (overlock or zigzag stitch width 2–3 mm, stitch length 2.5 mm)
- coverstitch or coverlock machine for finishing the garment hem. If you don’t have a coverstitch machine, it can be replaced with a twin needle on any regular sewing machine that can do a zigzag stitch.
Important! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). When sewing, a ball-shaped needle point pushes the knit loops apart without piercing the threads.
