Model Julia: Height 175 cm (5'9"), Bust 86 cm (33 7/8"), Waist 64 cm (25 1/4"), Hips 92 cm (36 1/4"). Julia is wearing size 36 in height 3.
Approximate sewing time — 1 day (8 hours).
To sew these pants, choose medium-weight, pliable, soft, and stretchy knit fabrics (with a stretch factor of 1.2–1.5) made of natural, artificial, blended, or synthetic fibers.
The following fabrics are recommended: thick French terry, French terry, jersey fabrics, and sweater knits.
For the waistband and cuffs, we recommend using stretch rib knit fabrics.
You can determine the stretch factor of your 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 photo are made of soft, pliable sweater knit. The fabric is medium weight, soft, and stretchy. The fiber content is 50% merino wool + 50% acrylic.
The waistband and cuffs are made of ribbed sweater knit. The fiber content is 50% merino wool + 50% acrylic. The fabric weight is 280 g/m². The stretch factor is 1.5.

5. Matching thread — 5 spools (1 spool for the sewing machine + 4 spools for the overlocker)
- sewing machine for construction
- overlocker for 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)
- elastic threader (may be replaced with a safety pin)
IMPORTANT! We recommend using specialty needles when working with knit fabrics (for example, STRETCH, SUPER STRETCH, JERSEY, etc.). These are ballpoint needles, so they part the threads of the fabric you are stitching without piercing them
