A pair of lined linen pants is a classic wardrobe staple. Maybe you've been afraid to tackle something with such a reputation for difficulty, but Susan Khalje is going to simplify the whole process for you. Materials:
2-3/4 yards 45" linen
3 yards batiste
Two packages hem lace
7" zipper
2 skirt hooks and bars
1/4 yard lightweight fusible interfacing
Vogue pants pattern
Sewing notions: scissors, thread, hand-sewing needles, pins, etc. Steps: - Stitch pocket lining to pants at side seam, using a 7/8" seam allowance rather than the usual 5/8" (figure A). Reinforce seam at dot. Clip, trim and press.
- Baste pocket lining to pants front by hand (figure B).
- On front pocket, press under 1/2" along side and bottom. Pin pocket to pants front and edge-stitch. Stitch again, 1/4" to the inside of original stitch. Machine-baste across upper and lower edges of pocket (figure C). Remove basting.
