Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning, ensure you have a standard sewing machine, sharp fabric shears, and matching thread.

To maintain your finished trousers, follow the care instructions specific to the fabric you chose; generally, pre-washing your fabric before cutting is essential to prevent future shrinkage.
