BRIEF INTRODUCTION

There are many techniques and strategies each dressmakers used in assembling the
ladies trousers. Following the unit method of assembly will keep the sewing process easy to
manage. Ladies trouser is easier to assemble since it has a few parts to be assemble unlike
blouses has so many construction lines and parts to attach.

All parts that need to attach like pockets and waistband must be prepared first before
attaching. In other way around, other sewer directly attached pocket first, work on zipper fly
and attached waistband in their sewing process. This lesson gives different steps in preparing
different part of the ladies trouser before assembly.

B. Directions: Write down the different parts of trousers to assemble. Write your answer on a separate
answer sheet.

REMEMBER

Assembling the Trousers

1. The crotch seam and all leg seams are made before the pocket and placket
are constructed.

2. The outside leg seams, pocket and placket are constructed before the inside
leg and the crotch seams are made. The first method is common and will be
the one that is employed in our slacks.

Front of Trousers

1. Stay stitch waistline and side edges, inside leg seam edges, and front crotch
seam edges.

2. Machine baste darts and tucks; do not machine stitch until after first fitting.

Front Crotch Seam

1. Determine type of seam to be used. A flat-fell seam is strong and appropriate.

A plain seam is satisfactory if a finish is used that helps strengthen it, such as
binding its edges, or turning under and edge stitching the seam allowances.

2. Stitch permanently after first fitting.

Back of Trousers

1. Stay stitch back sections of slacks and machine baste darts in front.

Back Crotch Seam

1. Use same type of seam in center front. If flat-fell seam is used, be sure it is
made in same direction as front.

2. Baste seam, but do not stitch or complete seam until after fittng.

Pinning for Fitting

1. Pin inner and outer leg seams, wrong sides together.

2. Try on slacks, and pin tape snugly at waistline for fitting.

3. Adjust seams and darts as necessary, allowing hip, thigh, and crotch to fit with
enough ease for freedom of movement, enough so that slacks do not droop
awkwardly.

4. Fit in sitting and bending positions.

5. Fit waistline in same manner as for skirt. Mark correct hem line.

6. Remove garment and adjust pinning to prepare for stitching. If plain seams
are to be used, remove pins from seams, slipping them into a single thickness
of garment to show any alteration in seam line.

7. Turn garment in the right sides together and pin-baste new seam line for
stitching.
8. If flat-fell seam are to be used, leave seams in the wrong sides together, and
pin-baste for stitching.

Joining Front and Back Units

1. Stitch and press any darts or tucks and crotch seams. Stitch and press inner
leg seams with crotch seams and two inner leg seams exactly.

2. Clip seams on curves and trim seam allowances where seams cross.

3. Leg seams may be reinforced with narrow cotton twill tape extending 2” to
either side of crotch seam. Finish seams in same manner as crotch seams.

4. Stitch and press outer leg seams from hem to crotch, leaving the right side
open above the pocket marking, and the left seam open for the placket.

Pocket in Side Seam

The pocket is placed in the right side seam. The pocket in a seam will not
open if there is sufficient ease allowance in the fitting of the slacks at the waist and
the upper hem line.

1. Baste front pocket section to front of garment side seam, and back pocket
section to back of garment side seam on seam lines, right sides together; stitch.

Pocket in side seam: In step 1, the front pocket section has been basted
to the front of the garment side seam, and the back pocket section to the back
of the garment side seam. Step 4 shows that the pocket sections have been
stitched together and the pocket top has been pinned to the waistline of the
front of the garment so that it will be caught permanently in the waistline seam.

2. Press back seam allowance toward the back of the garment. Press front seam
allowances toward front of the garment.

3. Turn pocket front inside, rolling seam just to under side; machine top stitch on
front edge of garment ¼ “ from fold to form firm pocket edge. If top stitching is
not desired, press seam allowances toward pocket and under stitch before
pocket is turned inside.

4. Pin-baste and stitch pocket sections together, beginning at point where

sections are joined to side seams, and continue around bottom and sides to
waistline edge of pocket.

5. Pin pocket top to waistline of garment front so it will be caught permanently in

waistline seam.

Bar Tack on Side-Seam Pocket

In sports clothes, the side seam pocket should be strengthened at the

upper and lower ends of opening by working a bar tack across them.

1. Take several stitches ¼” long across seam at lower end of pocket opening,
using buttonhole twist or embroidery thread to match garment.

2. Cover ¼£ stitches with tiny overhand stitches close together, catching a few
threads of the fabric at the same time. Work across ends with tiny overhand
stitches.

3. Repeat at top of pocket after waistband has been applied to garment.

Bar Tack (1)- Several stitches of thread are being sewed across the end of the
opening.

Bar Tack (2)- These stitches are now being covered with overhand stitches
close together, picking up a few threads of the fabric at the same time.

Bar Tack (3)- The ends have been finished with small bar tacks.

Placket

Insert zipper as directed for side zipper.

Waistband

Construct and apply waistband, using either top-stitched application given for
the gathered skirt or the directions of the skirt which feature the invisible
stitching and the longer underlap, as well as interfacing.
The latter waistband may be top stitched along all edges for a more tailored
appearance if desired.

Hem for Trousers

Women’s and girls’ slacks are usually finished with a plain hem rather than
cuffs. Finish cut edge by edge stitching or apply seam tape; turn up hem at
desired length, press fold, pin-baste, and slip stitch to garment. Be sure the
edge is even before edge stitching or applying seam tape.

Fasteners

Attach hook-and-eye fasteners to waistband as directed for skirt.

Pressing

Give trousers a final pressing, matching inside and outside leg seams to locate
position for front and back creases.
