Beautiful and comfortable clothes are important not only for adults, but also for children. After all, they are very mobile, so comfort should take first place. That's why trousers that provide freedom of movement are so popular.

Boys will always be comfortable with trousers made of thin fabric. You can make them yourself; for this you need to use special patterns.

We'll tell you how to make them in this article. We will also give important tips and recommendations to the beginning seamstress.

Taking measurements

In order for the product to fit perfectly and not interfere with movements, you need to have the exact dimensions of the child. This means you will have to take measurements.

The boy for whom the pants will be created must stand still during the measurement process..

IMPORTANT. When taking measurements, you need to use a measuring tape correctly: it should not be too tight or sagging.

Here measurements to be taken from a boy.

1. Waist circumference. For those who have a large tummy, you need to take the measurement slightly below the middle of the stomach, so the trousers will not fall down.
2. Hip girth.
3. Posterior midline.Measured from the waistline to the bottom of the buttocks.
4. Anterior midline.
5. Leg height (internal).
6. The height of the product is from waist to feet.
7. Leg circumference. Measure at the widest point of the leg.

We are building a pattern for sewing simple trousers with an elastic band

Although model of pants with elastic Quite simple, it also needs a pattern. The construction can be performed with the following data.

• We measure the length of the trousers on the side.
• Calculate the semi-circumference of the waist.
• We calculate the semicircle of the hips.

After you have made the calculations, you can transfer them to the drawing.

Work algorithm

1) Draw a rectangle and let's call it ABCD. Width (AB and DS) = hip semicircle + 6 cm (this is a special seam allowance).

IMPORTANT! For those who need tighter pants, the seam allowance should be less than 6 cm.

2) The length of the rectangle (AD and BC) is the length of the trousers.

3) From point A you need to mark 1/2 of the semicircle of the hips + 2 and this will be step line trousers (W).

For creating bow lines it is necessary to set aside 4 cm (make a projection upward with a point T) from the point of the step line W and then up 4 cm. Connect T and W: make a typical smooth line.

4) Knee line for trousers it will be in the following place: it is necessary to divide into 2 lines Ш1С + 6 cm up. Draw a line from 6 perpendicular to line AD.

5) Arrow line pants is calculated according to this rule: you need to take line ШШ1 and divide it into two equal segments. Connect with the upper and lower lines (C AB and DS). Where the intersection with the waist line will be is point T2.

6) Make the back pattern with a more protruding bow line. It should be 6–7 cm longer.
Depending on the expected width of the trousers at the bottom of each rectangle, you can reduce the DS size. Then smoothly connect everything along the side seams.

Pants with elastic

Models of children's trousers with elastic can be made in several ways.

1. Just sew a thick elastic band along the top.
2. Stitched waistband (additionally, a strip of fabric is measured taking into account seam allowance and hem allowance).
3. One-piece element (when cutting, it is necessary to also make allowances for the elastic, at a distance depending on the width of the elastic, in addition, be sure to add a seam allowance).

How to build a pattern for the base of trousers for a boy

In order for your son’s clothes to be varied, the styles of trousers need to be varied. This means you will need a base pattern on which you can model.

It is built according to a similar scheme, which was already given above.

The model can be complemented with a front pocket. For them you will need to additionally make 2 patterns: the front and back walls of the pocket. Their depth can be at the discretion of the seamstress.

IMPORTANT. It is better to transfer the basic pattern onto special paper and only then copy it onto fabric.

It is better for a beginning seamstress to first create a regular pattern for the base of the trousers according to measurements, and then change the pattern according to the desired style.
The result should be two front and two back trouser pieces. Plus patterns for pockets, two for each.

The stitching sequence starts with the pockets. Next is the front seam, back seam and crotch seam.

IMPORTANT! There is no need to rush to cut out and rather sew the parts together. It's better to check everything before the fabric is cut.

Useful tips for sewing trousers for boys

• When sewing trousers no need to rush and do machine stitches right away. It is better to sew the finished patterns with a hand seam and try them on. This is exactly what a real craftswoman does, since at this stage you can still correct and adjust something if darts are necessary.
