Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces are difficult to distinguish.
Use the color-coding system provided; each size is printed in a different color.
Difficulty achieving the correct leg shape.
Ensure accurate seam allowances are maintained and the fabric is pressed carefully after each step. Double-check that you are cutting the correct pattern piece for the leg.
Elastic waistband is too loose or too tight.
Measure your waist and adjust the length of the elastic accordingly before stitching it into the waistband casing. Test the fit before permanently securing.
Faux fly does not look convincing.
Pay close attention to the stitching and layering instructions for the faux fly. Accurate topstitching is key to its appearance.
