TOPSIDE
Lay out your diagram paper. Draw a line down the paper about 20cm in from edge.
Make line equal to the side seam length.
Locate point 1 at the top right of paper.
2 from 1 = the rise measure less 3cm.
3 from 2 = the inside leg measure.
4 from 3 = 1/2 the leg measure + 5cm to locate the knee position
Square both ways from 1, 2, 3, and 4
5 from 2 = 1/6 of the seat measure
6 from 2 = 1/6 of the seat measure
Divide 5 and 2 to locate 7, (Equal to 1/12 seat.)
Square up from 7 to locate 8 on the line squared across from 1
Measure back on the line 8 - 1; make this equal to 1/4 of the waist measure + 2cm locate
point 9 (This is the front waist line.)
10 From 7 = 1cm, Connect 10 to 8
11 From 7 = 1/12 of the seat, square back 1/4 of the seat measure to locate 12
Draw a short line at a 45% angle from 7 and locate 13 equal to 4.5cm
Starting on the line 8 to 10, at point just above 11, draw a curve down through 13 into
point 5
(This gives you the front fly line.)
14 and 15 = Half the knee measure divided equally each side of point 4
16 and 17 = Half the bottom measure divided equally each side of point 3
Now, connect point 5 through point 14 down to point 16 for the inside leg seam.
Connect point 9 with a gentle curve, down through point 12 to point 6 and onto point 15 at
the knee and down into point 17 at the bottom of the leg.
(This gives you the side seam run, point 15 to 17 can be drawn with a straight line.)

This completes the topside.
