To sew these pants, choose sweater knit fabrics with the following properties:
- medium weight, soft, opaque, with good drape, stretchy or low-stretch
- the fiber content can include natural fibers (wool, cotton, silk), blends (wool + polyester, cotton + elastane), artificial fibers (viscose), and synthetics (polyester, polyester + elastane)
For the pocket lining, we recommend light-weight knit fabrics: jersey knits, interlock knits.
The pants in the photo are made of soft sweater knit. The fiber content is wool + polyester. The pocket bag is made of jersey knit. The fiber content is cotton.

- overlocker for finishing raw edges and construction (this may be replaced with a zigzag stitch or a stretch overlock stitch on the sewing machine);
- sewing machine for joining small pieces;
